MONTREAL \u2013 Fabian Wagner scored 1:17 into overtime to give the Winnipeg Jets a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators at the Bell Centre Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Alex Worthington made 36 saves for Winnipeg who finished the 2025 Prospect Showdown with a perfect 2-0 record. Ben Zloty and Jacob Julien scored the other goals for Winnipeg.<\/p>\n
TIRED LEGS<\/p>\n
The Jets did a great job considering the amount of energy they expended in the 4-3 win over Montreal on Saturday night. They were down a forward with Kieron Walton out with an upper body injury and managed to grind out an impressive victory. Ottawa provided a big challenge with 10 players on their roster who played pro hockey last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought our systems were better tonight than they were last night. They had a lot of shots, but they were from the outside,\u201d said head coach Mark Morrison.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we didn\u2019t give up a lot from the interior of the ice, we did have some chances in the third and got lucky in overtime.\u201d<\/p>\n
ANOTHER SOLID PERFORMANCE BETWEEN THE PIPES<\/p>\n
Alex Worthington who signed a two-year contract with the Manitoba Moose this off-season got off to a great start making 36 saves for the Jets. Ottawa\u2019s game plan was sending a lot of traffic in front of Worthington, and the 20-year-old was equal to the task. The former Oil King was quick to point out the work his defence did tonight to help him out.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, Ottawa definitely plays a hard game, they play a great style of hockey and get bodies in front,\u201d said Worthington.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut our D were great all night long and made it easy for me to see the puck. Like I said, I was very thankful for our D, and it was fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MONTREAL \u2013 Fabian Wagner scored 1:17 into overtime to give the Winnipeg Jets a 3-2 win over the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-144780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
