- Owen Beck and Josh Anderson scored for Montreal in the first period
- Winnipeg entered the night at 4 wins, 8 losses and 3 overtime losses on a nine game winless run, while Montreal entered at 9 wins, 3 losses and 2 overtime losses on a five game win streak

How the Lead Grew to 3 to 0
Montreal built its lead in the first period. Owen Beck opened the scoring, and Josh Anderson added a late first period goal to make it 2 to 0. Winnipeg went to the first intermission chasing the game again, a familiar shape to this road trip.
The second period made the climb steeper. Montreal went on the power play, and Cole Caufield finished the chance with a slap shot at 16:00 left in the second period. Noah Dobson and Juraj Slafkovsky earned the assists on the goal that pushed the lead to 3 to 0.
What This Means for Winnipeg
A 3 to 0 deficit in the second period leaves Winnipeg with a long way back in Montreal. The Jets came into this game desperate to stop a nine game winless run before it reached ten games, and every Montreal goal makes that job harder. The response in the rest of the second period and the third period will say a lot about where this team stands right now.
What to Watch Next
Watch whether Winnipeg can find the first goal that changes the feel of the night, and whether the Jets can stay out of the penalty box after Montreal cashed in on the power play. Montreal, meanwhile, will try to protect a three goal lead and extend its win streak to six games.
