Ivan Barbashev scored the game winner with 5:29 remaining before Vegas added two empty-netters while Sean Monahan scored the lone goal for the Jets.
For the tenth time in their last 11 meetings with the Vegas Golden Knights, the Winnipeg Jets came up on the wrong side of the ledger Thursday night, controlling much of the game but falling 4-1 for their fifth straight loss.
After the Jets turned the puck over at their own blueline, Pavel Dorofeyev missed the net but William Karlsson tracked down the rebound, got it back to Dorofeyev and this time he made no mistake, sniping one top-shelf to make it 1-0 with 4:04 to go in the first.The Golden Knights carried their lead and a 14-10 advantage in shots on goal into the middle frame but the Jets controlled the bulk of the second, tying the game 3:31 into the period.
Nicolas Hague caught Vladislav Namestnikov in the head as the Jets forward was reaching for the puck, sending him to the ice clutching his head. Mark Scheifele immediately rushed in to fight Hague and was given a two-minute instigator penalty and a ten-minute misconduct along with a fighting major. The Jets still had their chances but on what seemed to be a fairly innocuous rush up the ice, the Golden Knights went ahead with 5:29 remaining. Anthony Mantha took the puck across the Jets’ blue line and chipped it to the slot where Ivan Barbashev took a whack at it with the backhand and sent it high over the right shoulder of Hellebuyck.
