Kent Johnson's two third-period goals propelled the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 4-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets, ending their three-game losing streak. Dmitri Voronkov and Sean Kuraly, who scored into an empty net, also contributed to the victory. Elvis Merzlikins made 24 saves for Columbus, while Kyle Connor scored the lone goal for Winnipeg.

The Jets struggled early, failing to register a shot until a power play midway through the first period. Despite Connor's team-leading goal, Winnipeg couldn't maintain their momentum, halting a two-game win streak.
