Gabriel Vilardi led the Winnipeg Jets to their eighth consecutive victory, scoring two goals in the second period during a thrilling 4-3 win over the New York Islanders. Nikolaj Ehlers and Alex Iafallo also contributed to Winnipeg's scoring, while Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele each notched two assists. Connor Hellebuyck was instrumental in the victory, making 32 saves to protect the lead.

The Jets overcame an early deficit established by Simon Holmstrom's goal just a minute into the game. Vilardi, however, tied the game early in the second period with his first goal, before adding a second later in the period to extend the lead to 4-2. Despite a late push from the Islanders, which included goals from Kyle Palmieri and Marc Gatcomb, Hellebuyck's key saves allowed the Jets to secure the win.
