Scheifele’s Stellar Performance Steals the Spotlight
Mark Scheifele recorded a noteworthy hattrick while Morgan Barron secured his initial two goals and Connor Hellebuyck collected 20 stops with the Jets breaking their scoring slump and beating the Panthers and Paul Maurice 6-3.
Before Connor exercised the finishing touch on his goal, Scheifele could force a defensive error. Three minutes into the game, the Panthers were caught again by Scheifele after a lengthy cycle by the Jets. This goal was the 10th of the season for Scheifele, which pulled Connors to secure two goals for the team lead. The three goals that Scheifele secured had a huge impact on the game’s momentum.
After making 3-2 on the power play during the third period, it was the Jets turn to get on power play when Scheifele scored the third goal, six seconds after the man advantage ended.
Connor scored off of a challenging Panthers turnover after opening the scores with 5:47 in the first period. Winnipeg was given two full minutes of the 5 on 3 power play, but nobody could go past Sergei Bobrovsky, while later Dimitry Kulikov, the former defenceman, landed in the box. Winnipeg did not lose the opportunity and its lead was extended to 3 as Nikolaj Ehlers caught Scheifele cross-ice.
