Mammoth top Jets 3-2

A late defensive-zone breakdown was the difference as the Winnipeg Jets dropped a 3-2 decision to the Utah Mammoth.

With the contest tied late in the third period, Dylan Guenther got free in the slot and buried a pass from Logan Cooley for what proved to be the game-winner.

Mark Scheifele and Dylan DeMelo scored for the Jets, who slipped to 6-3 on the season as the Mammoth won a seventh consecutive game and vaulted to the top of the Western Conference with an 8-2 record.

Connor Hellebuyck finished with 29 saves for the Jets, who will face the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.
