Mark Scheifele<\/a> and Kyle Connor<\/a> each had a goal and an assist, Morgan Barron<\/a> also scored, and Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> made 26 saves for the Jets (25-26-10), who have points in five straight (3-0-2). Tanner Pearson<\/a>\u00a0and Alex Iafallo<\/a>\u00a0each had two assists.<\/p>\n

Brayden Point scored and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 26 saves for the Lightning (38-18-4), who\u2019ve lost four straight after winning their previous six.<\/p>\n

Barron made it 1-0 Jets at 15:31 of the second period, scoring on the rebound from Cole Koepke\u2019s shot on a 2-on-1 rush.<\/p>\n

Scheifele made it 2-0 at 19:42. As the Jets entered the Lightning zone, Connor circled back and found a trailing Iafallo, who set up Scheifele for a one-timer from below the left face-off dot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Point cut it to 2-1 on the power play at 1:52 of the third period. After Darren Raddysh\u2019s point shot caromed off the end boards and back in front, Point quickly buried it from the slot with a wrist shot after a quick touch on the puck from Jake Guentzel.<\/p>\n

Nyquist then scored his first goal as a Jet to push it to 3-1 at 5:34. Pearson created a turnover in the Lightning zone that allowed Jonathan Toews to find Nyquist in the slot, and he beat Vasilevskiy high glove side with a wrist shot.<\/p>\n

Connor appeared to make it 4-1 at 8:43, but the goal was disallowed after Tampa Bay challenged the play and video review determined Scheifele was offside on the 2-on-1 rush with Connor.<\/p>\n

Connor then scored into an empty net at 17:59 for the 4-1 final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor each had a goal and an assist, Morgan Barron also scored, and Connor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":517376,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-517375","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\/517375","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=517375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
