Perfetti Strikes Early in the Third
The Jets came out of the second intermission trailing 4 to 2 and needed a fast start. Perfetti gave it to them, scoring on the power play only 55 seconds into the third period, with Gabriel Vilardi and Mark Scheifele picking up the assists. It was Perfetti’s eighth goal of the season, and it turned a two goal game into a one goal game with most of the third period still to play.
Chicago still leads 4 to 3, but the momentum has swung hard toward Winnipeg. The Jets have outshot the Blackhawks 22 to 15 and dominated the faceoff circle, winning 72.9 percent of draws at the last check.
How the Game Got Here
Chicago built a 3 to 0 lead in the first period. Tyler Bertuzzi opened the scoring 1:48 in, assisted by Oliver Moore and Connor Bedard. Anton Frondell made it 2 to 0 at 9:07, and Bedard added a power play goal at 19:56 of the first, assisted by Patrick Kane and Sam Rinzel.
Frank Nazar scored on the power play in the second period to put Chicago ahead 4 to 0, and the game looked over. Then the Jets answered. Scheifele scored at 16:05 of the second, assisted by Josh Morrissey and Kyle Connor, and Connor added another at 18:01, assisted by Scheifele, after Chicago goalie Spencer Knight got his stick stuck in the boards behind the net. Stuart Skinner started in goal for Winnipeg, and Nico Daws took over at the start of the second period.
The Jets came into the game at 9-8-3, riding a five game winning streak and chasing a sixth straight win. Chicago came in at 5-13-1.
Scheifele History Already Made
Before Perfetti’s goal, the biggest moment of the game belonged to Scheifele. His second period goal was the 930th point of his career, moving him past Dale Hawerchuk and into first place alone on the Jets franchise points list. Scheifele had tied Hawerchuk at 929 points on Thursday night in Dallas, with two goals and an assist in the Jets 8 to 3 win over the Stars. The United Center congratulated Scheifele on the scoreboard as the record fell.
What Comes Next
The game is still in progress, with Chicago leading 4 to 3 and about 13 minutes and 30 seconds left in the third period at the last live check. The Jets return home to host the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, November 17. Chicago is back in action Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
