Notable:

The Jets lost Nikolaj Ehlers (1st period), Adam Lowry (2nd period) and Dylan DeMelo (3rd period) although all three would return in the same period in which they left the bench.

With the secondary assist on the opening goal for Winnipeg veteran forward Paul Stastny picked his 500th career assist in the NHL.

During the 2nd period we learned that the NHL and NHLPA had agreed to suspend all cross-border games until Christmas which will mean that the Jets game in Dallas on Wednesday is postponed.

Multi point game:

Nikolaj Ehlers 1G 3A
Paul Stastny 2G 1A
Mark Scheifele 1G 1A

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
