Mark Scheifele played a pivotal role in the Winnipeg Jets' 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring the tying goal with just over a minute remaining and the game-winner 38 seconds into overtime. This win marked the Jets' seventh consecutive home opener victory and extended their regular season winning streak to ten games. The game was a defensive struggle, with Chicago's Ryan Donato scoring first in the second period, and Blackhawks' goaltender Arvid Soderblom stopping 33 shots, narrowly missing a shutout. Connor Hellebuyck, the Jets' goaltender and reigning Vezina Trophy winner, made 25 saves. In another hockey highlight, Sergei Murashov made an impressive North American debut for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the AHL, contributing to a 4-1 win against the Springfield Thunderbirds with 27 saves. Murashov, a promising young prospect from Russia, demonstrated strong potential for future starts in the league.
