Three things - Jets lose to Golden Knights

Game one of the Winnipeg Jets three-game road trip was at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas tonight. The Golden Knights got a hat trick from Jonathan Marchessault as Vegas beat Winnipeg for the second time this season, this time 5-2. Kyle Connor and Alex Iafallo scored for the Jets who saw their record fall to 4-4-3. They will now travel to Arizona to face the Coyotes Saturday afternoon.

POWER PLAY ENDS DROUGHT

The Jets ended a 0-for-20 run with the man advantage when Alex Iafallo deflected a Cole Perfetti shot past Logan Thompson in the third period tonight. Winnipeg had not scored a power play goal since the 10:18 mark of the first period of their game in Edmonton on October 21. The Jets managed three shots on goal during four power plays against the Golden Knights this evening.

PK GIVES UP TWO GOALS

With the game tied at one in the second, Mason Appleton received a double minor for high sticking and Vegas scored twice in 1:38 to make it 3-1. Jonathan Marchessault scored on a breakaway at 7:00 and Ivan Barbashev added another at 8:38 when he pounced on a rebound. Winnipeg has now surrendered 11 power play goals this season. Winnipeg had been a perfect 7-for-7 on the penalty kill in their previous three games at T-Mobile Arena.

PERFETTI CHIPS IN ANOTHER ASSIST

Cole Perfetti was coming off his first multi-point game of the season when he had two assists in the Jets loss to the Rangers on Monday. Thursday night, he recorded an assist on Iafallo’s power play tally in the third and has five helpers in his last five games.
