Key Takeaways
- Montreal 3, Winnipeg 0, second period, 8:22 left at the last live check
- Montreal goals: Owen Beck and Josh Anderson in the first period, Cole Caufield in the second period
- Shots at the last check: Winnipeg 21, Montreal 13, but Montreal leads by three
- Jacob Fowler has stopped all 21 Winnipeg shots; Stuart Skinner has stopped 10 of 13 Montreal shots
- Winnipeg entered at 4-8-3 on a nine game winless run; Montreal entered at 9-3-2 on a five game win streak
What Changed in the Second Period
Cole Caufield scored the only second period goal on the live scoreboard so far, and it turned a two goal Montreal lead into a three goal lead. The live scoreboard stats table at the check did not list a time or assists for the Caufield goal, so this post does not guess at either. Winnipeg had the shot edge at the check, but Montreal had the goals, and that is the gap that matters right now.
The Goaltending Gap So Far
Fowler has been perfect so far, stopping all 21 Winnipeg shots. Skinner has stopped 10 of 13 Montreal shots. Winnipeg is getting looks, with 21 shots to Montreal’s 13, but none of them have beaten Fowler yet. That is a hard combination for a team trying to end a nine game winless run: more shots, fewer saves at the other end, and a three goal hole in the second period.
What Comes Next
Winnipeg needs the next goal, and it needs it soon. A 3 to 1 game in the second period still leaves room to push. A fourth Montreal goal would make the climb much steeper. The Jets have to turn shot volume into a finish, and they have to do it before Montreal’s lead grows again.
