That might not have been the prettiest of wins but a win is a win as the Jets defeat the Sharks 4-3 to improve to 23-9-1 on the season.

Notable:
Game number 500 for Neal Pionk in the NHL and his 399th in a Jets jersey. Not too shabby from the undrafted Minnesotan.
No surprise (to those that watched him last couple of Moose seasons) that Nikita Chibrikov back for the 2nd after blocking a shot in the 1st period and missing part of the opening frame. He’s tough.
The Jets didn’t get a shot for the first 7 minutes but the first one they got on the power play was a beautiful goal by Mark Scheifele who got his 17th of the year. That’s a 42 goal pace which is pretty solid given he had 25 last season.
The power play continues to stay hot as Kyle Connor got one of his two on the PP which tied the game in the 3rd.
And then with 1:13 left in the period the captain Adam Lowry tips home a Dylan DeMelo shot to give the visitors a 4-3 lead.
Connor Hellebuyck becomes first goalie in the NHL to 20 wins.
Technically the Moms Trip began with the last game against the Habs so they are 2-0
