Notable:

Who said the prairies doesn’t have any Sharks.

The captain with a Friendly Manitoba hello early in this game.

Cole Perfetti was that close to opening the scoring but hits Vitek Vanecek’s stick which deflected up and over the net.

We’ve found Kyle F Connor’s biggest fan.

Jets fans not happy with this call against Adam Lowry who ended up delivering a big inadvertent hit on Vitek Vanecek. The Sharks would score on the subsequent power play to make it a 1-0 game.

Big cheers from Winnipeg for Pokey.

Of course…..Josh Morrissey tied the game with 25.9 seconds left….

With his game-winning goal Mark Scheifele set the franchise (Jets/Thrashers) record for most goals (329) passing Ilya Kovalchuk. Interestingly with the primary assist Nikolaj Ehlers also moves past Kovalchuk on the franchise assist list into sole possession of 5th with 288.
