Winnipeg Jets Defeat Montreal Canadiens 4-2

The Winnipeg Jets defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-2 on Saturday night, with Connor Hellebuyck making 26 saves to secure the victory. Montreal initially took the lead with Lane Hutson's first NHL goal, but Winnipeg quickly responded with goals from Gabriel Vilardi, Adam Lowry, and Kyle Connor, who scored during two power plays. Vladislav Namestnikov sealed the win with an empty-net goal late in the game. The Jets demonstrated strong special teams play, converting two of six power-play opportunities and successfully killing all four Canadiens' power plays. This victory allowed Winnipeg to regain first place in the Central Division, improving their record to 18-12-2, while Montreal fell to 14-14-2. The Jets will embark on a two-game road trip to California next week.
