The Winnipeg Jets narrowly defeated the New York Rangers 2-1, bolstered by Gabriel Vilardi's game-winning power-play goal and a solid performance by Connor Hellebuyck, who secured his 38th win of the season with 21 saves. Cole Perfetti stood out with two assists, contributing significantly to the victory.

Vladislav Namestnikov opened the scoring early in the first period, terminating his eight-game point drought. Mika Zibanejad scored the Rangers' only goal during a power play, marking his 15th goal of the season. However, the Jets maintained their lead, effectively blocking shots and keeping the Rangers at bay, especially after a crucial video review disallowed a potential goal late in the game due to goaltender interference.
