"Logan Stanley chipped a carom off the boards past Logan Thompson to open the scoring. Morgan Barron made it two for the Jets, finishing a feed from Adam Lowry. Alex Iafallo and Gabe Vilardi added two more for Winnipeg in the second period to double their lead. Vilardi put away another in the third. Jakob Chychrun got a garbage-time power-play goal. Jets beat Capitals 5-1."
"An absurdly dominant first period for the Jets against the Capitals. The road team was not even at the races. I haven't loved how the Caps have been playing five-on-five recently, despite all the wins. They did not have a single even-strength shot in the first frame tonight, and were also horrible against the Carolina Hurricanes back home. Ryan Leonard should apparently win the Hart Trophy as league MVP for making the Capitals' power play look viable for about a week before he got injured."
"Yeah, I'm writing this bullet after the second period, and I can already tell you this is the Capitals' worst game of the season. They recorded a single high-danger chance through 40 minutes of play and gave up 12 to the Jets. I don't imagine Spencer Carbery is going to be pleased postgame. If you're a Team USA fan, you'll be hoping this was a preview of what could potentially be a Logan Thompson vs. Connor Hellebuyck matchup"
The Winnipeg Jets defeated the Washington Capitals 5-1 with goals from Logan Stanley, Morgan Barron, Alex Iafallo, Gabe Vilardi (two), and Jakob Chychrun. The Capitals failed to record an even-strength shot in the first period and produced only one high-danger chance through 40 minutes while surrendering 12 such chances to the Jets. The Capitals' power play has not scored in its last 10 opportunities following Ryan Leonard's injury. Bogdan Trineyev made his NHL debut and showed strong skating and composure. The performance raised concerns about team structure and goaltending matchups moving forward.
