With the score 2-1 Jets at the start of the third, Elias Salomonsson recorded his first NHL goal coming in from the point and ripping a shot past Lukas Dostal to restore Winnipeg\u2019s two-goal lead at 1:27. Salomonsson\u00a0(21 years, 181 days) became the fifth-youngest defenseman in Jets\/Thrashers history at the time of his first NHL goal, behind\u00a0Zach Bogosian\u00a0(18 years, 186 days on Jan. 17, 2009),\u00a0Ville Heinola\u00a0(18 years, 220 days on Oct. 8, 2019),\u00a0Jacob Trouba\u00a0(19 years, 217 days on Oct. 1, 2013) and\u00a0Sami Niku (21 years, 175 days on April 3, 2018).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a great shift in the o-zone there, winning back the puck there. Lows the guy in the middle there, jumping in,” said Salomonsson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
