A very impressive performance by the Jets as they overcome playing on the second game of a back-to-back to defeat their divisional rival Avalanche by a final score of 3-0 as they improve to 29-12-3 on the season. That was Connor Hellebuyck sixth shutout of the season. Winnipeg becomes the first team to pass the 60 point mark as they get to 61 with the win.

Notable:
Mark Scheifele has 25 goals of the season in game 44. That’s how many goals he scored in 74 games last season. On pace for 47 goals this season.
It was also the 50th point of the season for Mark Scheifele which is the tenth straight season he’s got to the 50 point mark.
The penalty kill is trending up as they went 2/2 in this game. In their last three games they’ve killed 11 of the 12 penalties they’ve taken.
Connor Hellebuyck has as many shutouts (6) as he does regulation losses (6). That’s insane. And according to the team that ties the franchise record for most by a goalie in a single season and there is still almost half a season to go. Wild.
