Gabe Perreault, who scored the game-winning goal later in the game, watches Adam Fox\u2019s shot get past Connor Hellebuyck during the Rangers\u2019 6-3 road win over the Jets on March 12, 2026. AP<\/p>\nWINNIPEG, Manitoba \u2014 The Rangers are playing some of their best hockey at the worst time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Development and draft lottery odds should be the name of the Rangers\u2019 game with just 17 contests remaining on the 2025-26 season schedule, but the meaningless matchups \u2014 like their 6-3 win over the Jets Thursday night \u2014 have seemingly done wonders for the team psyche.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite a tight 60-minute affair at Canada Life Centre, the Rangers pulled away with a three-goal third period to pick up their fifth win in their last seven games and their third in a row for the first time since November.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gabe Perreault extended his point streak to three games with the game-winning goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adam Edstrom scored his first goal since returning from a 33-game absence due to injury to add insurance.<\/p>\n

The Rangers haven\u2019t felt this good about their game maybe all season long.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the second time in the last three games, the Rangers were the team to strike early.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
A hooking call on Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi brought a relatively hot Rangers power play out onto the ice less than a minute into the game. <\/p>\n

Adam Fox then opened the scoring with a shot from the top of the zone, marking his first power-play goal since Dec. 31.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Rangers went on to finish 1-for-2 with the man-advantage on the night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the newest Jets players, Isak Rosen, responded for Winnipeg early in the second period.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After landing in Winnipeg as part of the deal that sent Luke Schenn to the Sabres, Rosen scored his first as a Jet on Thursday to even up the score against the Rangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alexis Lafreni\u00e8re continued on the heater he\u2019s been on since Artemi Panarin was first scratched before his eventual trade to Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
Tipping in a Will Borgen shot for the 2-1 lead, Lafreni\u00e8re notched his sixth goal in the last five games, as well as his ninth in the last 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rangers had a third one-goal lead squandered early in the third period.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tye Kartye redirected a feed from Matthew Robertson for his fifth goal of the season and second as a Ranger, but the advantage only lasted just over three minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vilardi made up for the power-play goal that was scored on his team when he was in the box earlier in the game, burying a rebound past Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin for the 3-3 score.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WINNIPEG, Manitoba \u2014 The Rangers are playing some of their best hockey at the worst time.\u00a0 Development and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[4823,385,99,4827],"class_list":["post-520519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-new-york-rangers","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-winnipeg-jets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
