Cole Perfetti achieved his first NHL hat trick, leading the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-2 victory against the Utah Hockey Club. Perfetti scored the opening goal and added two more, while Nikolaj Ehlers contributed with a goal and two assists, reaching a career milestone of 500 points. David Gustafsson also found the net for Winnipeg. Connor Hellebuyck held strong in goal, making 17 saves. On the Utah side, Barrett Hayton and Nick Schmaltz scored, with Connor Ingram stopping 25 shots but unable to keep the Jets at bay.

Perfetti's performance was crucial, particularly his decisive third-period goal that gave Winnipeg a 3-2 lead. Ehlers extended the lead further with a breakaway goal, and Perfetti capped off his night with an empty-netter. The Jets maintained offensive pressure throughout the game, capitalizing on their chances effectively against a fatigued Utah team that had played the previous night in Minnesota.
