Notable:

Lots of goalless streaks were broken this evening. Blake Wheeler got his first in 22 games, Mark Scheifele his first in 10 games, while Kyle Connor got his second in 16 games.

Big smile from Adam Lowry as he was recognized for getting his 200th NHL point on the road. Winnipeg crowd gives him some love.

Both the Jets and Wings got to their feet to acknowledge Winnipeg assistant athletic therapist Brad Shaw who is working his 1000th pro game.

Mark Scheifele set a new career high for goals with his 39th.

The official welcome back for Andrew Copp had him tapping his heart as the Winnipeg crowd gave him some love.

Offensive defenceman Dylan DeMelo with a new career high for goals with five. He had four with the Sens in 2018-19. He also sets a new career high for points with 23. He beats the 22 he had that same year with Ottawa.

Nino Niederreiter and Nikolaj Ehlers also joined the party with goals.

The highlight of the game may have been Will aka neck cracking dude (who ended up joining us on the post-game show).
