Walker Breaks the Deadlock Shorthanded
Carolina was down a man after Deslauriers was called for tripping at 15:54 remaining in the first period, the penalty drawn by Mario Ferraro. Instead of Winnipeg striking first, it was Carolina that found the net. Walker snapped a shot past Skinner at 14:44 remaining, with Jarvis picking up the assist, and the Hurricanes had a 1 to 0 lead they did not give back in the minutes that followed.
Winnipeg had chances to answer. Nino Niederreiter tested Kochetkov at 13:39 remaining, and a Haydn Fleury snap shot was blocked by Jaccob Slavin a few seconds later. Neither found the net.
Jets Still Searching for a Way Back
The Jets have not won since October 13, and this road trip was supposed to be the reset. Instead they are chasing the game again against the defending Stanley Cup champions, and the Samberg hooking penalty, drawn by Sebastian Aho at 12:40 left in the first period, handed Carolina a power play chance to stretch the lead to two.
Winnipeg needs a response before this one gets away from them. The next goal matters more than most.
