The winless skid hits five (0-4-1) for the Winnipeg Jets as the power play is powerless (0/5) and Golden Knights take it 4-1

The winless skid hits five (0-4-1) for the Jets as they play a heck of a game against the Golden Knights but Vegas defeats Winnipeg 4-1. Powerless PP (0/5) contributes big time to the loss.

For those who would like to take a deeper dive into the advanced stats click here to see the results from the game via Natural Stat Trick.

Notable:

The Jets have some unusual pre-game routines as Mark Scheifele and Mason Appleton demonstrated here.

700 NHL games for Vlad Namestnikov as fans gave him some love.

Less than a minute into this game Connor Hellebuyck was tested with a good chance by Jack Eichel.

Second game in a row that Logan Stanley drops the gloves and pumps up the crowd.

What a tip by Sean Monahan. He’s made it quite the art form as he tied the game with his 23rd goal of the season.

Josh Morrissey played a monster amount of this hockey game (played just a shade under 30 minutes).

The difference in this hockey game was the powerless power play as Winnipeg went 0/5 with the chances they had.

What also didn’t help was the reversal of the five-minute major in the 3rd which completely changed this game as they downgraded the Nic Hague headshot on Vlad Namestnikov to a two-minute minor. They also hit Mark Scheifele with a two, five and ten minute penalties which meant he was done for the night.

Ivan Barbashev broke this game open with the GWG with 5:49 left as he took advantage of a good attack by Vegas.

Multipoint Game:

None
