Special teams the difference as the Stars halt Winnipeg Jets win streak with 3-2 win

The three-game win streak comes to an end as the Jets were unable to find an equalizer in their comeback attempt against the division leading Stars and fall 3-2 in this afternoon affair. They are now 7-5-2 on the season.

Notable:

Connor Hellebuyck moved into 10th spot on the all-time games played list for the Winnipeg Jets with 456 games. He had been tied with Mathieu Perreault. Next up is Andrew Copp in 9th with 467 games.

Three straight games with a goal for Cole Perfetti who has been playing well all season long but now he’s getting rewarded for his hard work. He’s up to 4G in 14 games which would be a 23 goal pace. Not too shabby.

Brenden Dillon, scoring machine? Four goals in the last four games for the offensive defenceman. Like Perfetti he is on pace for 23 goals which isn’t insignificant given his career high was six back in 2013-14.

The special teams cost the Jets in this one as they gave up a power play goal and a shorthanded goal.

Multi Point Game

None.
