The Winnipeg Jets secured their first back-to-back victories since mid-November, defeating the New Jersey Devils 4-3 on Sunday. The turning point came at 6:17 in the third period when Tanner Pearson, assisted by Josh Morrissey, broke the tie with a precise shot past Jake Allen. This win ended an 11-game losing streak for the Jets, who last achieved back-to-back victories on November 15-18. Additionally, it was their first one-goal victory since November 15, breaking an NHL record of 13 consecutive losses. The Jets' offensive prowess was showcased by Alex Iafallo, Jonathan Toews, and Gabriel Vilardi, with Morrissey and Cole Perfetti contributing two assists each. Connor Hellebuyck's 24 saves were instrumental in the win. On the other hand, the Devils, led by Cody Glass's two goals, couldn't prevent their first four-game losing streak since early December. Glass's performance was notable, as he redirected a pass from Luke Hughes at 1:05 in the second period, giving the Devils the lead. However, the Jets' resilience was evident as they tied the game at 2:36 with a goal from Toews and successfully challenged for goaltender interference, ensuring the win. The Devils' next challenge awaits them in Minnesota on Monday night, while the Jets will host the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
