For those who would like to take a deeper dive into the advanced stats here are the results from tonight’s game via Natural Stat Trick. Gameplay: - Ducks opened the scoring early on a weird goal which deflected in off Ben Chiarot's skate; - Included three quality chances for Winnipeg shorthanded (on same Ducks PP) as Scheifele, Tanev & Connor all had chances; - Jets continued to control most of the play in the opening frame but couldn't solve Gibson; - The Ducks got another one as Rickard Rakell made it a 2-0 game for the visitors; - Winnipeg was awarded a late power play and Blake Wheeler brought the home side within one with 1 minutes left in the 1st; - Period 1 ends with the Ducks up 2-1 and a shot edge for the Jets of 11-7. - Patrik Laine got the monkey off his back as he tied the game off a nifty pass from Bryan Little - But 13 minutes later Cogliano took a shot that Hellebuyck should have stopped to restore the lead for the visitors; - Wasn't looking good for the Jets but Ben Chairot fired one at the net that was deflected past Gibson to tie the game - Off to OT where both teams had chances to win it. - Ultimately both Jacob Trouba and Bryan Little had cracks at the game winner and Little put it home. Notable: - Josh Morrissey tied his career high in points with 26 that he set last season (in 38 less games); - Patirk Laine took the team goal scoring lead with his 25th.
