The Winnipeg Jets wrapped up the first half of their season-long six-game road trip, a California swing where they went 0-3 and were outscored 9-2, falling 4-1 to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night. Beckett Sennecke and Leo Carlsson each scored twice as Anaheim extended its win streak to seven games.
Outskated, outplayed, outscored
Despite playing their third game in four nights, the Ducks showed no signs of fatigue. Anaheim jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period before Kyle Connor cut the deficit in half with his ninth goal of the season. The Ducks restored their two-goal lead before the second intermission and added another on the power play early in the third.
“Start was good. They had some looks, but then we gave up some odd-man rushes in the second period. I like the fact we put five, six, seven shifts in a row where it looked like everybody was kind of on the same page,” said head coach Scott Arniel. “Just our F3 getting caught, even our other two forwards getting beat up ice by their defence. Team transitioned really well, and we just got on the wrong side of people too often.”
Perfetti returns to lineup
The Jets got a bit healthier before the game as Cole Perfetti rejoined the team in Anaheim after missing time with an ankle injury he suffered in the preseason. Perfetti skated alongside Jonathan Toews and Vladislav Namestnikov on the second line and reclaimed his spot on the top power play unit. According to NHL Stats, Perfetti finished the night with one shot on goal, one blocked shot, and 17:59 of ice time.
600 points for KFC
With the Ducks up 2-0 early in the second period, Josh Morrissey found Kyle Connor in the slot, and the winger buried his ninth of the season, a goal that also marked his 600th career NHL point. Connor became the 52nd American in league history to reach the milestone, joining Ilya Kovalchuk, Blake Wheeler, and Mark Scheifele as the only players in franchise history to hit the mark. Having done so in just 627 games, Connor is the second-fastest among that group, trailing only Kovalchuk (579 games) and ahead of Scheifele (667).
The Jets will look to salvage a win on this brutal road trip Tuesday night in Vancouver against the Canucks. Puck drop is set for 9:00 p.m. CST on TSN3.
