Counter Attack...
Going to the finish, it felt like all Carolina had to do was stay on the gas and avoid taking too many trips to the box.
It turned out they would go 0/2.
Two quick goals in the first 3:02 of the period certainly put the heat on the Canes, forcing Rod Brind'Amour to take his timeout.
Asking his team to "reset", the group still had the lead.
Not for long though.
Under two minutes after the timeout, Michael Bunting found himself in the penalty box and Mark Scheifele made it an even game.
Tying things up at 3-3, it remained either side's game for the taking for the next 10 minutes, but Winnipeg wasn't done yet.
After Kochetkov came far out of his net to try and steer away an oncoming puck, he avoided the first crashing Jets forward, but not the second. Sean Monahan was there to pick up the scraps and hit the empty net, which would serve as the game-winning goal.
An empty net tally from Nino Niederretier closed out the scoring, giving Carolina a stinging 5-3 defeat.
