Kyle Connor shone in the Winnipeg Jets' 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, scoring two goals, including a crucial one just before the second period ended. His teammate David Gustafsson's aggressive forecheck set up the goal with only 1.5 seconds left, putting the Jets ahead 3-1. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis lamented the lapse in defensive coverage at a critical moment, calling it a painful mistake.

Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was instrumental, making 24 saves, especially during the Canadiens' strong opening moments. Mark Scheifele, amid jeers from the crowd for a past incident, also contributed with a goal. The win marks the Jets' fourth consecutive victory.
