The Jets are the first team to reach 20 successes in this 2024/25 financial year.
Trailing 2-1 at the end of the first third, the Jets equalized at 2-2 in the 34th thanks to a nice backhand shot from Nino Niederreiter. The Grisons striker, who has 16 points in total in this championship, had not scored in his last five outings.
Winnipeg took the lead for the first time in the 51st, the 4-2 falling into an empty cage. The Jets thus have a second consecutive success, after having conceded four defeats in a row to cede 1st place in the League to the Minnesota Wild.
Chicago, which was playing for the first time under the leadership of its new coach Anders Sorensen, has the worst record in the NHL with 18 points in 27 matches. Beaten for the fifth time in a row, the Blackhawks however remain two lengths behind Roman Josi’s Predators, who play in the same Division.
Nashville indeed suffered a seventh loss in a row on Saturday, the 21st in total in 28 matches. The Preds lost 3-1 on Ottawa ice, who could count on Linus Ullmark’s 37 saves to make the difference. Roman Josi had a record of -2 at the end of this match. He is at -20 for the entire season…
The evening was better for Kevin Fiala and the Kings, who scored a fifth consecutive success against Minnesota (4-1). The Saint-Welsh striker scored his 17th point of the season, assisting on the 2-0 scored on a numerical advantage by Alex Laferriere in the 28th minute.
