Golden Knights Edge Jets in OT, Extending Winnipeg's Slide to 10

The setback underscores a first-half swoon rooted in roster construction concerns, thin scoring, late-game lapses.

Overview

  • Tomas Hertl redirected Mitch Marner’s shot for the overtime power‑play winner after Dylan Samberg took a tripping penalty in the final minute.
  • Winnipeg blew 2-0 and 3-2 leads as goals from Cole Perfetti, Luke Schenn (in his 1,100th game), and Kyle Connor were erased in a 4-3 loss.
  • Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury was stretchered off after a hit by Keegan Kolesar; the team said he was alert and moving, and the coach said he stayed in hospital overnight with a broken nose for further tests.
  • The Jets are 0-6-4 during the skid and 15-21-5 overall, with a run of one-goal defeats that includes 12 straight one-goal losses.
  • GM Kevin Cheveldayoff recently called the first half very disappointing and cited past trades of draft picks as a factor, as Winnipeg opens a five-game homestand Thursday against Edmonton.
