Lights lamp twice in win

It probably won’t be much longer before Mark Scheifele stands alone on this list, but that didn’t prevent him from taking time to soak in the moment. The Winnipeg Jets centre scored twice

Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl earned No. 1 status on the strength of an outstanding first four months of the season after signing an eight-year, $14-million AAV extension that will almost certainly make him the highest-paid player in 2025-26.

The Winnipeg Jets continued their strong play with a 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to four games. Kyle Connor scored twice, while Mark Scheifele also found the back of the net.

Kyle Connor tilted his head up to the jumbotron and saw the clock winding down. When he looked back down, he spotted an opportunity to score. The Winnipeg Jets' star winger chipped the puck in deep and parked himself in the slot.

Marc-Andre Fleury, playing his final game in his home province, recorded his 76th career shutout as the visiting Minnesota Wild beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 on Thursday. Fleury made 19 saves while tying Ed Belfour and Tony Esposito for the 10th-most shutouts in NHL history.

MONTREAL (AP) — Marc-Andre Fleury made 19 saves for his first shutout of the season in likely his final game in Montreal, helping the Minnesota Wild beat the Canadiens 4-0 on Thursday night.

BOSTON — It may be cruel to note that Elias Lindholm is now without a five-on-five point in his last 13 games. The first-year Boston Bruin scored a short-handed goal and assisted on a power-play strike in the Bruins’ 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. It was Lindholm’s fifth multi-point game with the Bruins.

The Jets have one of the most prolific top lines in the NHL — with only Leon Draisaitl having more goals this season than Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele (29) — and Gabe Vilardi on pace to shatter his career-best (23) with 22 already notched.

After a shocking trade, the Hurricanes have elevated their chances of winning the Stanley Cup in the 2024-25 NHL season. Which other teams are contenders?

John Hynes knows that William Nylander can lead the Maple Leafs out of the little hole they’ve dug for themselves. The Leafs have scored just two goals in losing their past two games, and neither came off the stick of Nylander after the star winger had four goals in the previous three games, all Toronto victories.
