Nate Schmidt helps soaring Jets rally for 3-1 win over Ducks
Associated PressANAHEIM, Calif. — Nate Schmidt and Cole Perfetti scored in the third period, and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 on Friday night to extend their point streak to 11 games. “We get behind by one and we have that feeling of, ‘We’re still going to win this game.’ That’s a pretty good feeling to have, which is something we haven’t had for a while.” Mason McTavish scored in the first period for Anaheim, and John Gibson made 24 stops. It was Winnipeg’s second victory at Anaheim in the past month, after the Jets’ Kyle Connor was injured in a knee-on-knee hit by the Ducks’ Ryan Strome on Dec. 10. It wasn’t a clean start for us, but I think we had a really good third period.” Perfetti added his power-play goal for his 11th at 13:03, helping Winnipeg improve to 10-7-3 when giving up the first goal.
