New York Islanders dominate the Winnipeg Jets in all facets of game through 40 winning 6-3

The Jets were supposed to rebound from a poor effort on Thursday against the Devils but instead they lay an absolute egg with the Islanders dominating the game for the first 40 minutes which allowed them to build a 6-1 lead and they’d go on to win 6-3.
