Mark Jankowski delivered a standout performance for the Carolina Hurricanes, scoring twice in a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. This win marked Carolina's fourth consecutive triumph, showcasing their solid form as they contend for a prime playoff position. Joining Jankowski on the scoresheet were Logan Stankoven and Seth Jarvis, while Frederik Andersen made 20 saves to keep the Jets at bay.

Despite a powerful offensive display last game, the Jets struggled against Carolina's defense, with only Alex Iafallo and Adam Lowry managing to find the net. Notably, Winnipeg's top-ranked power play faltered, going 0-for-3 against the Hurricanes. The game also included a pivotal moment when a potential goal by Cole Perfetti was called back after review for a high stick, highlighting Carolina's defensive resilience.
