Skidding Jets Look to Take Advantage of Short-Handed Kings
The Jets have lost 11 straight games, averaging 2.3 goals per game while allowing 3.4, facing Kings who perform well when scoring at least three goals, officials said.
- On Friday, the Winnipeg Jets ended an 11-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings at Canada Life Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba, ending their longest skid since 2011.
- The Jets' 0-7-3 run included scoring droughts for Vladislav Namestnikov and Jonathan Toews, injuries to Morgan Barron and Neal Pionk, and an average of 2.3 goals scored while allowing 3.4 per game.
- Key plays included Cole Koepke's one-timer at 1:55 left, Jonathan Toews' fourth goal early second, and Eric Comrie's 23 saves plus a crucial stop on Jeff Malott at 1:32.
- Darcy Kuemper stopped 11 of 16 shots before Anton Forsberg replaced him to start the third, and Quinton Byfield scored for the Los Angeles Kings on a goal Jets coach Scott Arniel unsuccessfully challenged for interference.
- With 20 goals and 30 assists, Mark Scheifele scored his first goal since Nov. 1 as the Winnipeg Jets were winless 0-7-4 since Dec. 13 with an 8-9-3 home record.
