How the First Period Built a Two Goal Lead
Mercer opened the scoring against his former team. He carried the puck into the Devils zone, took a pass from Cole Perfetti, moved around Dougie Hamilton and beat Jake Allen with about 12 minutes left in the first period. Mercer came to Winnipeg in the Connor Hellebuyck trade, and the Canada Life Centre crowd let him hear it when the red light went on.
Connor made it 2 to 0 on a five on three power play with about five minutes left in the period. Perfetti fed him from the bottom of the faceoff circle and Connor shot past Allen. It was Perfetti’s second assist of the night and Connor’s 14th goal of the season, keeping him first on the Jets in goals.
Daws stopped all 11 shots he faced in the first period. Allen stopped 6 of 8. Josh Morrissey was back in the Winnipeg lineup for the first time in over a month after missing time with a wrist injury.
The Devils Answered in 44 Seconds
The second period belonged to New Jersey, and it turned in less than a minute. Bratt scored at 1 minute 14 seconds of the period, with assists to Gritsyuk and Hughes, to cut the lead to 2 to 1. Glass followed at 1 minute 58 seconds, with assists to Kovacevic and Chisholm, and the game was tied 2 to 2 before the second period was two minutes old.
Winnipeg never got its first period game back. The Devils outshot the Jets 17 to 13 through two periods, and Daws kept the game level the rest of the way with 15 saves on 17 shots.
A Scoreless Third Period So Far
The third period has been a goalie duel. Allen stopped a DeMelo wrist shot and two Pionk attempts, one a tip in and one a wrist shot, in the opening minutes. Jack Hughes had a wrist shot blocked by DeMelo, and Mark Scheifele had a shot blocked by Timo Meier. Neither team has scored in the period, and the next goal likely decides whether Winnipeg extends its win streak to four or New Jersey extends its own to six.
The Hellebuyck Backdrop
Hellebuyck did not play in his return to Winnipeg. The Devils kept him out of the lineup and started Allen instead, a decision that drew boos from the crowd during warmups and chants through the night. Hellebuyck spoke to Winnipeg media earlier today and said family moments crossed the line, which is why he asked for the trade that sent him to New Jersey on October 23.
The Jets play in Dallas on Thursday. The Devils host the Washington Capitals the same night.
