It was another perfect weekend for the Winnipeg Jets. They also remain the only in the NHL with perfect record. We also got to see Bryan Little retire as a Jet, Connor Hellebuyck would play his 500th NHL game and the best start to a Jets 2.0 season.  It was a perfect Winnipeg weekend.

The Jets were ready to go Friday night. Just 30 seconds into the first we got our first Jets scoring chance and we would see Josh Morrissey’s first goal of the season less than two minutes into the game.

9:25 into the first period and during the 5-on-3 Nikolaj Ehlers would score his first of the season and the first of 11 points by he and his second line mates.

Tyler Toffoli would score on the power play in his first game against the Jets since leaving the club in the offseason. This would be the closest the Sharks would get to tying the game.

Nikolaj Ehlers would score his second of the period after Cole Perfetti made a great steal and cross ice pass to Ehlers putting the Jets up by two.

Neal Pionk would score his first of the season on the power play to put the Jets 4-1 going into the second period. The Jets would go 3/4 on the power play out shoot the sharks 15-8.

Kyle Connor would score the goal that would chase Mackenzie Blackwood from the crease, he would only play 21:46, he allowed 5 goals against on 18 shots.

The Sharks would score once in the second period it was on their third shots and find the back of the net between Connor Hellebuycks legs. The Jets would outshoot San Jose 14-8 through 40.

Cole Perfetti would score his first goal of the season midway through the third period with a nifty toe drag release. He would do his best Alexander Ovechkin impersonation standing at the faceoff dot ready with a booming slapshot.

Vlad Namestnikov would score his first goal of the season with less than a minute left in the game. Vitek Vanecek who relieved Blackwood would finish the game with an .883 save percentage and would allow three goals against in his 38:14 of icetime. Hellebuyck who played in his 500th NHL game Friday night had his worst game of the season. He allowed three goals for the first time this season and had a sub.900 sv% for the first time this season.

Namestnikov and Perfetti would both score 4 points Friday night Ehlers would score three. Perfetti was on the ice for 21 shot attempts, 14 shots on net and was on the ice for 7 of the 8 goals for the Jets. The Sharks had 0 shots on net when Perfetti was on the ice.

Overall the Jets out shot the Sharks 36-22, went 4/7 on the power play, 1/2 on the penalty kill and won the game 8-3.

Sunday afternoon started a little emotional with the Jets officially having Bryan Little retire as a Jet he got to do a lap across the ice and won his face off against Sidney Crosby prior to the game.

The Jets would change up their line-up for the first time this season. Logan Stanley would draw in for Haydn Fleury and David Gustafsson would come in for Rasmus Kupari on the fourth line. We would see Eric Comrie play for the first time this season.

The first period looked solid from the Jets they just couldn’t beat Pittsburgh’s goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic in the opening 20. The Jets would out shoot the Pittsburgh Penguins 11-9 both teams would head to the box once.

Former Jet Kevin Hayes would opening the scoring on the power play with Collin Miller sitting in the box. Lars Eller would put the Penguins up 2-0 less than six minutes in.

Scott Arniel would say ” that was a pretty sloppy second for us its the first time we’ve had a full period like that. We have a time like that maybe 5 to 10 minutes but in the second we gave up pucks, overhandling and we lost some puck battles”. Anriel would have a talk with his team during a TV timeout it seemed to work because the Jets would score three unanswered goals to finish the second period.

Nikolaj Ehlers would find Kyle Connor during the 6-on-5 to put the Jets on the board. Mark Scheifele would score on a rebound from Miller tying the game at 2 a piece. With less than a minute left in the period Namestnikov would find the back of net with a little help from Ehlers during 4-on-4 play.

Eller would score his second of the game tying it up 99 seconds into the third. Jets captain Adam Lowry would find the back of the net after winning a faceoff in the offensive zone Mason Appleton would find the captain for the game winning goal.

Appleton would find the back of the net a little more than 3 minutes later after Neal Pionk (who is having a great start to the season) would pick up a neutral zone pass make some moves and find Appleton for his second of the year.

Nino Niederreiter would score his first of the season on an empty net goal. Jets won 6-3 after going down 2-0. Comrie would stop 31 of 33 shots in the final 40 minutes. Jets would allow one goal on their one penalty kill Sunday afternoon and went 0/2 on the power play.

Jets will play again on Tuesday night in St. Louis starting at 7:00 PM.
