Winnipeg Jets chasing the game until they weren’t as Rangers take it 6–3

The Jets were chasing all game long until they weren’t as the Rangers double them up by a final score of 6-3 (on 17 shots).

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:

Dylan DeMelo played in his 700th NHL game this evening.

The Sabres connection got the Jets on the board as Isak Rosén got his first in a Winnipeg uniform with Jacob Bryson getting the primary assist.

Spectacular goal by Kyle Connor to tie the game. And he tells the crowd to celebrate with him after he scores. More emotion than usual from 81. Suspect he didn’t mind the guy on Rangers bench seeing his goal scoring.

Multi Point Game:

None.
