The Winnipeg Jets led the Seattle Kraken 3-2 in the third period, but couldn’t hang on, surrendering three unanswered goals in a 5-3 loss Thursday night. It marks Winnipeg’s fourth defeat on their six-game road trip.
Alex Iafallo, Mark Scheifele, and Kyle Connor scored for the Jets, while Connor Hellebuyck stopped 13 of 17 shots in the loss.
Jets blow lead
Winnipeg controlled the second period, outshooting Seattle 12-5, and took a 3-2 lead late in the frame when Kyle Connor buried a power play marker.
But in the third, the Jets’ penalty kill issues continued. Eeli Tolvanen tied the game on a Kraken power play, and Jordan Eberle followed with the go-ahead goal before adding an empty-netter to finish the comeback.
Samberg makes season debut
Jets defenceman Dylan Samberg made his season debut after missing the first 16 games due to a broken wrist suffered in the preseason. Skating alongside Neal Pionk, Samberg logged 23:04 of ice time with two blocks, two hits, and two shots on goal, per NHL Stats.
KC scores first power play goal since Dec. 2024
Kyle Connor snapped a surprising drought, scoring his first power play goal since Dec. 23, 2024, in Toronto. Josh Morrissey set him up with a quick cross-seam pass, and Connor hammered a one-timer past Philipp Grubauer for his 10th of the season.
“Yeah, like I said, it’s kind of a function of just the way we been moving the puck, and what’s been open, and if there’s a shot there, I’m for sure trying to shoot it,” Connor said. “But a lot of times those inside plays is we’ve been able to capitalize on that. Yeah. So let’s just don’t force anything, and just kind of see the play and make it.”
Winnipeg’s season-long six-game road trip wraps up Saturday in Calgary against the Flames. Puck drop is at 9:00 p.m. CST on Sportsnet.
