Connor Hellebuyck made 23 saves, Kyle Connor had a goal and an assist and the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Sunday for their third straight victory.
Cole Perfetti put the game out of reach with a stunning goal. Derek Forbort has been very good defensively for the Canucks but Perfetti undressed him like he was Ned Braden with a gorgeous outside-inside move through Forbort’s legs. He finished it off with a top-shelf shot while falling to the ice. It was an unreal goal.

Demko picked up the loss, stopping 24 of 27 shots.
