Goals Galore as the Winnipeg Jets Beat the Montreal Canadiens
1. The Jets Powerplay Comes to the Rescue
After blowing a four-goal lead, there was cause for concern regarding the Jets, but luckily their special teams stepped up during the second half of the game and propelled them to victory.
Andrew Copp scored a powerplay goal with under three minutes remaining in the second period to put the Jets back in front.
Then in the third period, the Jets scored three more powerplay goals courtesy of Mark Scheiefle, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and Paul Stastny to put the Jets back ahead by a commanding four-goal lead.
Winnipeg’s powerplay provided the difference in this game as the Jets ultimately won this contest by an 8-4 scoreline. The Jets finished this contest by going an outstanding four-for-six on the man advantage and they were extremely fun to watch.
