Notable:
Nico Daws and his new Jets pads replaced Stuart Skinner to start the 2nd period after the starter had given up three goals on 11 shots.
Jets down 4-0 to a team. At this point that’s become a yawn for this hockey club.
Seems appropriate that Mark Scheifele became the All-Time Jets franchise points leader with assists from Josh Morrissey & Kyle Connor. No. 55 moves past Dale Hawerchuk with 930 points in his career. That goal also tied him with No. 10 for top spot on All-Time goals list with 379.
Kyle Connor hits 700 points in his career as he buried this pass by Mark Scheifele. He’s got 17 goals in 21 games which is a 68-goal pace for the season.
Cole Perfetti with his 8th of the season to bring the Jets within one. And Mark Scheifele was now tied with Thomas Steen for most assists in franchise history with 553.
Winnipeg storms back to tie this game as Gabriel Vilardi gets his third of the season with the extra attacker on the ice to tie the game 4-4. And Mark Scheifele has 4 points in this game including another assist to become the franchise All-Time Assist leader with 554.
After OT solved nothing, both Scheifele and Connor scored in the shootout for the win. That gave Winnipeg their sixth straight victory and put them into a playoff spot (for now).
