The Winnipeg Jets extended their win streak to four games after a big third period propelled the visitors to a victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
Andrew Copp had a power-play goal for the Jets, who have won four straight. Eric Comrie allowed two goals on 32 shots in his season debut.
The Jets kept pushing with their speed to take advantage of the Kings, who lost defenceman Drew Doughty for at least eight weeks because of a bruised knee and Sean Walker for the season because of a torn ACL and MCL during their recent four-game trip. After falling behind 1-0 at 4:07 of the first period on Dubois’ fifth goal, Kupari tied it up 1-1 by scoring on a breakaway at 11:23 after getting behind two Jets. With coach Todd McLellan in search of more production from the bottom six, Kupari centered the third line and provided a lift even, before getting his first goal of the season.
