The best defense in the main round, led by perhaps the best keeper in the league at the moment, Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck, conceded three goals in the first third – but also scored three goals themselves.
The spectators were also treated to a real exchange of blows, in which the Jets were able to pull ahead 6:3 and 7:4 in the third period. Adam Lowry and Kyle Connor each scored twice.
