Jets make it consecutive wins

The Winnipeg Jets kept that winning feeling going.

In an eventful Sunday matinee at Canada Life Centre, Tanner Pearson supplied the game-winning goal at 6:17 of the third period, converting a perfect pass from Josh Morrissey to propel the Jets to a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils.

The Jets, who improved to 17-22-5, won consecutive games for the first time since mid-November (15th and 18th) and moved within nine points of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Alex Iafallo, Jonathan Toews and Gabe Vilardi also scored for the Jets, who got 24 saves from Connor Hellebuyck.

Winnipegger Cody Glass scored twice for the Devils.

The Jets close out this five-game homestand on Tuesday against Matthew Schaefer and the New York Islanders.
