Coaches don't have to say a thing, and that's so exciting when your leader is not only saying the right thing, but he's doing the right things, dictating to the group this is how we play. And he goes out and executes, and you can't do anything but follow. His game has been all-around great. "Zuccarello made it 2-0 at 6:33 with a one-timer off a drop pass from Kirill Kaprizov.

"I don't think we played up to the standard we expect out of everyone in terms of execution, " Jets forward Adam Lowry said. "Our passing wasn't very crisp, decision-making, reads off face-offs, reads in and on them. I think we can play fast and be more aggressive on the forecheck. We can create more turnovers that will lead to extended zone time.

23), " Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon said. "I think the biggest thing for them is the forwards blow out of the zone, and their D throw the high flippers, and the hard rims and bouncing pucks are tough to handle sometimes. They've got good players that can make plays. Their top line can obviously hold on to pucks and find the open guy. For the most part we did a pretty good job coming back. They made some nice plays on their goals.
Connor, Gagner each has goal, assist in Jets win against CanucksVANCOUVER -- Kyle Connor and Sam Gagner each had a goal and an assist for the Winnipeg Jets in a 5-1 victory against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Saturday. Pierre-Luc Dubois had three assists, and Connor Hellebuyck made 22 saves for the Jets (20-9-1), who have won nine of their past 12 games. Winnipeg played its first game since top-line forward Blake Wheeler (lower body) and defenseman Nate Schmidt (upper body) were injured in a 2-1 win against the Nashville Predators on Thursday.
"Kyle Capobianco, who replaced Schmidt after being scratched for 13 straight games, made it 2-0 at 5:30 of the second period with his first goal of the season on a screened point shot after Dubois won an offensive zone face-off, and Neal Pionk made it 3-0 at 12:08 with a screened one-timer from the point. "I love to see it, " Hellebuyck said.

"When you can go from great to whatever tonight was, " Boudreau said, "you tried to build them up, told them how good they played in Calgary -- and we did an awful lot of good things -- and then we come here, and it's not even the same team. It's hard to understand sometimes. "Connor put the Jets ahead 1-0 on a power play at 2:51 of the first period, taking a cross-ice pass from Dubois off the rush and using Mark Scheifele as a screen to beat Martin from the left hash mark. "It's kind of on the regroup on the power play, and if we can, we like to attack and try to create some chances off the rush, " Connor said. "[Dubois] made a great pass, and I had a lot of time there and just picked low blocker.
Just a real, almost a perfect game for coming off a break. We simplified. We didn't make anything complicated tonight. So it was not necessarily the game plan, but the execution was fantastic. "Pierre-Luc Dubois scored for the Jets (21-13-1), who have lost three in a row for the first time this season. Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves. "The details are off a little bit, " Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness said. "It's not as strong as it once was, but that kind of goes into our whole 5-on-5 (game) right now. It's not as strong as it was. Our attention to detail is not there. "Video: MIN@WPG: Gaudreau scores off Zuccarello passSpurgeon gave the Wild a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 5:29 of the first period.

Like you saw on the score sheet, everybody contributed. "Bo Horvat scored, and Spencer Martin made 22 saves for the Canucks (13-14-3), who were missing leading scorer Elias Pettersson (illness) for the first time this season and got outshot 10-1 over the first 15 minutes. "You take your best offensive player out and usually that's not a good thing on any team, " Vancouver coach Bruce Boudreau said. "But teams that are good enough can withstand injuries, and that's when other guys get the opportunity to show what they have.
