The Winnipeg Jets found themselves in seventh heaven once again Sunday night.
Blake Wheeler and Mathieu Perreault poured in three points apiece and Kyle Connor scored twice as the Jets pounded the Florida Panthers 7-2.
It was the fifth time this season Winnipeg scored seven goals in a game, and they've now done it in every month since the 2017-18 campaign began:
Date | Opponent | Result | Score |
---|---|---|---|
10/29/2017 | PIT | W | 7-1 |
11/27/2017 | MIN | W | 7-2 |
12/01/2017 | VGK | W | 7-4 |
01/09/2018 | @BUF | W | 7-4 |
02/18/2018 | FLA | W | 7-2 |
Amazingly, the Jets have only lost twice in the 29 games this season in which they've scored at least four goals.
Winnipeg entered Sunday's action ranked sixth in the NHL with 3.22 goals per game.
Patrik Laine, Mark Scheifele, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Bryan Little also scored for the Jets on Sunday night.
The win gave Winnipeg a two-point cushion over the Nashville Predators for first place in the Central Division, although the Predators still hold two games in hand.
