The Winnipeg Jets picked up a much-needed win in emphatic fashion, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights for the first time this season, 4-0.
The Jets opened the scoring in the first period, thanks to Mark Scheifele's 37th goal of the season. Alex Iafallo made a phenomenal play, taking the puck off his face before sliding over to Scheifele to one-time the puck into the wide-open net. Adam Lowry extended the Jets lead, scoring his 15th goal with 1:45 remaining in the opening frame.
A 96MPH slap shot from Colin Miller on the power play gave the Jets a three-goal lead in the second period.
With under a minute to go Cole Perfetti scored the Jets' fourth goal of the game into the Golden Knights' empty net.
Eric Comrie was solid from the second the puck dropped, turning away all 27 shots he faced, earning his second shutout of the season and fourth of his career. Adin Hill was pulled after the second period, allowing three goals on 19 shots.
The Jets are back in action on Saturday when they take on a central division foe, Utah HC.
