Top line powers Jets past Wild

The Winnipeg Jets’ top trio had another sensational showing, delivering three goals at even strength and combining for another on the power play in a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday at Canada Life Centre.

Mark Scheifele recorded his first goal of the season and chipped in a pair of assists, Cole Perfetti scored twice and Kyle Connor had a goal and an assist to pace the offensive attack.

Cole Koepke rounded out the scoring, giving the fourth line its first marker of the campaign, while Stuart Skinner made 19 saves.

The Jets, who improved to 4-1-1, travel to Chicago to face the Blackhawks on Thursday before returning home to face Nikolaj Ehlers and the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday afternoon.
