Notable:

Not everyday you see the Michigan attempted but Eric Comrie made a big stop in the 1st period on Clayton Keller.

Adam Lowry has scored goals in back to back games which is exactly what the Jets need from their third line centre.

The Jets season might have been saved by 2 minutes and 17 seconds in the 3rd as they scored a pair to turn a 3-2 deficit into a 4-3 lead.

The quest for 50 goals continues for Kyle Connor as he scored his 31st and 32nd goals of the season. He has the third most goals from the 2015 NHL draft behind just Connor McDavid and Sebastian Aho. Ahead of guys like Mikko Rantanen, Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner…

Kyle Connor also moved ahead of Tobias Enstrom for 8th spot on the all-time Jets/Thrashers leaderboard for points with 309. That puts him 6th on the Jets 2.0 all-time leaderboard.

With the game-winning goal in Arizona winger Kyle Connor now has 30 for the Jets. He sits behind Wheeler (34), Scheifele (33) and Little (32) on the Jets 2.0 list.

Point number 100 for Neal Pionk wearing a Winnipeg Jets uniform.

Big game for Eric Comrie who improves to 6-2-1 on the season.
