It didn’t take the Winnipeg Jets long to get going Monday night in Dallas. Mark Scheifele scored on the opening shift just 26 seconds into the game. Patrik Laine added a powerplay goal just under five minutes later, and Kyle Connor finished off a Blake Wheeler set up with 57 seconds left in the period as Winnipeg rode that 3-0 lead to a 4-1 win.
Wheeler assisted on all four goals, including an empty net goal by Scheifele as Winnipeg’s #1 line had a nine point night. Winnipeg, 8-3-3 on the season, has points in eight straight games and improved to 4-0 versus Central Division opponents.
Connor Hellebuyck made 33 saves as the Jets picked up 11 of 14 points during a seven games in 12 days stretch. So a three day break in Vegas is well deserved before resuming the road trip Friday Night against the expansion Golden Knights.
