"Connor opened the scoring 4:20 into the first period, pouncing on a rebound after Alex Iafallo deflected Mark Scheifele's shot. Morrissey doubled the lead early in the second with a shot through traffic, and Toews made it 3-0 just 42 seconds later on a power play, sliding home a rebound from Gabe Vilardi's attempt."
"The Islanders responded with urgency. Duclair got New York on the board at 7:40 of the second period, finishing a slick feed from Anders Lee. Heineman followed with a penalty-shot goal less than two minutes later, and MacLean tied the game at 3-3 by jamming in a pass from Casey Cizikas during a net-front scramble. Momentum swung back to Winnipeg late in the period."
"I thought going into the third period tonight it was going to be one of those games where we were going to find a way. We ran out of time a little bit, but defensively we have to be better. There's no question about that, we know that in this room it wasn't our best tonight."
The Winnipeg Jets beat the New York Islanders 5-4 as Adam Lowry and Kyle Connor each had a goal and an assist. Connor Hellebuyck made 23 saves while Ilya Sorokin stopped 17 shots.

New York rallied with goals by Anthony Duclair, Emil Heineman on a penalty shot, and Kyle MacLean to tie the game. Dylan DeMelo and Lowry regained the lead late in the period. Matthew Schaefer scored with 46 seconds left but the Islanders fell short and slipped to 6-3-1 in their last 10 games.
