Elias Pettersson was involved in the staging that led Vancouver 1-0 to about halfway into the match, but the Swede was left without an assist. Then the home team took over Winnipeg and turned to lead by 2-1 for the third period.

Goalkeeper Connor Hellebuyck held the Jets in the driver's seat with some high-quality saves at the score of 2-1. Partly on Elias Pettersson early in the third period, and partly when Bo Horvat got completely unmarked in front of the box and tried to fine-tune Hellebuyck on the ice.

- It was a seven-health rescue. If I put it there it stands 2-2, but instead they score goals and it is frustrating. It's a shame that we failed to score, Horvat told nhl.com.

Yes, instead of a receipt, Kyle Connor turned the puck, rushed to a free position and skillfully put 3-1. Winnipeg scored another goal in the final minutes and took his ninth straight win against the favorite opponent (?) Vancouver.

- We scored eight games in a row (October 20 to November 5) and could just as well have scored in this match as well, but we also played last night when they rested and despite that we did a pretty good match, says Vancouver coach Travis Green.

Jacob Markström got a glimpse of Thatcher Demko guarding the box for the guests. Elias Pettersson still tops the team's internal points with 21 points (6 + 15) in 17 games. He is eight in the NHL's overall points, the best of all Swedes right now.
