The Jets dominated the contest and will head to Minnesota up 2-0 in the series thanks to a game that was owned by them for most of the game. They took a 1-0 lead into the 3rd and then exploded for three goals in the final frame allowing one on the power play to end it 4-1 after 60 minutes. Shots finished 44-17 for Winnipeg and they held Minnesota without a shot for most of the 3rd period.

Goals by Tyler Myers, Paul Stastny, Andrew Copp and Patrik Laine. Jack Roslovic had a two point night in his first ever NHL playoff game. Both Patrik Laine and Tyler Myers finished the game with a goal and an assist.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
