MONTREAL -- Kyle Connor scored twice, and the Winnipeg Jets extended their winning streak to four games with a 4-1 victory against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Tuesday. Mark Scheifele also scored, and Gabriel Vilardi had two assists for the Jets (35-14-3), who are 8-2-1 in their past 11 games. Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves.
Stylistically, the Jets expect a bit of a shift from their two opponents from the home stand in Utah and Calgary. Utah is a team among the National Hockey League’s best in terms of minimizing high-danger chances against (according to Natural Stat Trick), and the game against Calgary was tight right until the Jets broke it open in the third.
