Vegas hammer already-eliminated Winnipeg 6-2, Mark Scheifele first ever Jets 2.0 player to 100 points

The result didn’t matter since the Jets were already-eliminated but it certainly wasn’t a very good result as the Golden Knights roll them 6-2. They become just the fifth team to go from the Presidents’ Trophy to out of the playoffs.
