Overview
- Detroit built a 2-0 first-period cushion on goals by Dylan Larkin on the power play and Mason Appleton.
- Larkin's tally was his team-leading 21st, and Appleton's goal was credited after Luke Schenn accidentally knocked the puck into his own net.
- John Gibson made 24 saves and has won nine of his past 10 starts.
- Winnipeg's slide reached seven straight losses as Connor Hellebuyck stopped 17 shots and Logan Stanley scored the Jets' only goal.
- The win moved Detroit to 24-14-3 for 51 points at the season’s midpoint, with a trip to Pittsburgh next as Winnipeg visits Toronto.
