Overview
- The Jets rallied from a 4-0 deficit to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 in a shootout on Saturday, Nov. 14, with Kyle Connor scoring the decisive shootout goal and Mark Scheifele contributing one goal and three assists.
- Mark Scheifele recorded the point that moved him past Dale Hawerchuk on the franchise scoring list and finished the game with 933 career regular-season points and a four-point night.
- Nico Daws relieved starter Stuart Skinner to begin the second period, made 12 saves in relief and stopped Roman Kantserov in the final shootout round to secure the win.
- The victory was Winnipeg’s sixth straight, improved their record to 10-8-3 and put the team into the first Western Conference wild-card position with 23 points.
- Roster questions remain as Dylan DeMelo is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury and Elias Salomonsson has just resumed on-ice skating, which leaves the Jets’ defense thin even as their offense and late-game resilience drive results.
