Juraj Slafkovsky<\/a> and Oliver Kapanen<\/a> scored, and Dobes made 29 saves for the Canadiens (14-9-3), who had lost consecutive games following a three-game winning streak, including a 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a momentum-filled game, and I think last night we didn\u2019t really handle that well,\u201d Montreal forward Jake Evans<\/a> said. \u201cAnd tonight was one of our most complete 60-minute games, or 65-, I guess, minute game. Every line contributed and that\u2019s a good team over there that we fought to the very end with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Scheifele<\/a> and Kyle Connor<\/a> each had a goal and an assist, and Eric Comrie<\/a> made 29 saves for the Jets (13-12-1), who are 1-5-1 in their past seven games.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the blueprint that we need to look at, and if we do that, we\u2019ll get wins,\u201d Scheifele said. \u201cHopefully we can build on that game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel was pleased with the team\u2019s response following a 5-1 loss at the Buffalo Sabres on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we gave up any odd-man situations, but if we did they were very limited compared to last game,\u201d Arniel said. \u201cWe did a great job of not only our forwards getting over top of people, tracking back, but our \u2018D\u2019 did a great job with their gaps.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a battle of two good goaltenders. Dobes and Comrie, both goaltenders made some big stops and there was a lot of different looks for each team. And at the end of the day, I would have liked the two points but I\u2019m happy with our effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheifele gave the Jets a 1-0 lead at 18:35 of the first period. He took Connor\u2019s backhand pass as he drove the slot and put a wrist shot past Dobes\u2019 glove from the hash marks.<\/p>\n

Slafkovsky tied it 1-1 at 9:59 of the second period with his second power-play goal in as many nights. Caufield fed a pass from behind the net to Slafkovsky, who snapped a one-timer past Comrie from low in the left face-off circle to finish off a passing play started by Nick Suzuki<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Juraj Slafkovsky and Oliver Kapanen scored, and Dobes made 29 saves for the Canadiens (14-9-3), who had lost…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":324391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-324390","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324390","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=324390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
