Overview
- Winnipeg rebounded from an early-week loss as Kyle Connor opened the scoring and Gabriel Vilardi sealed it with an empty-netter.
- Tanner Pearson put the Jets ahead on a second-period breakaway before Cole Koepke added his first goal with Winnipeg late in the frame.
- Comrie stopped 34 of 35 shots to steady the Jets after Buffalo tied the game on a Jason Zucker power-play rebound.
- The result avenged Monday’s 5-1 defeat in Buffalo that led to a players-only meeting in the Jets’ room.
- Connor Hellebuyck remains out with a knee injury as Comrie carries the starts, and defenseman Haydn Fleury resumed skating after clearing concussion protocol; Winnipeg visits Edmonton on Saturday and Buffalo plays in Calgary on Monday.
