Connor Hellebuyck recorded his 300th NHL win as the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Nashville Predators 5-2. Barron and Morrissey scored 16 seconds apart in the first period to highlight the Jets' victory.
WINNIPEG — Morgan Barron and Josh Morrissey scored 16 seconds apart to help Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck record his 300th NHL career win with a 5-2 decision against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Hellebuyck became the third-fastest NHL netminder to reach 300 wins (300-179-43). The only other goaltenders to accomplish the milestone faster are Andrei Vasilevskiy (490 games played) and Jacques Plante (521).
The 10-year veteran is also the 41st goalie to reach 300 victories, and the 30th to have 300 wins and at least 40 shutouts. Kyle Connor, Gabriel Vilardi and Nino Niederreiter also scored for Winnipeg (28-12-2), which halted a three-game losing skid (0-2-1). Mark Scheifele added a pair of assists. Hellebuyck, who is 25-6-2 with five shutouts this season, turned aside 26 Nashville shots. Filip Forsberg ended an 18-game scoring drought with his 10th of the season for the Predators (13-21-7), who finished a season-high six-game road trip (2-4-0). Juuse Saros made 26 saves for Nashville. Winnipeg led 3-0 after the first period and 3-1 heading into the third. Barron banged the puck in past Saros on a power play at 6:30 and Morrissey fired a point shot over the goalie’s left shoulder 16 seconds later. Connor added his 23rd of the season at 18:36. Forsberg made it 3-1 with a power-play goal at 16:45 of the second period. Vilardi scored nine seconds into Winnipeg’s first power play at 7:51 of the third, but Josi made it 4-2 less than two minutes later. Niederreiter notched an empty-net goal with 2:05 remaining. TAKEAWAYS Jets: Hellebuyck kept his teammates afloat by stopping an early and late barrage of shots. Morrissey left the game limping early in the second period after crashing into a goalpost when he was clipped by Scheifele. Predators: Nashville came out firing four shots at Hellebuyck in the first 1:47 of the game. They hit the post at least three times during the game
