Brossoit, who is Connor Hellebuyck, is an underrated goalkeeper, Jets coach Paul Maurice said.

Mason Appleton added an empty network.
Thatcher Demko made 29 saves for the Canucks.

“It’s a playoff-style game, but I think our boys accepted the challenge and made an effort.
A skirmish between Derek Forbort of Winnipeg and Nils Hoglander of Vancouver erupted in a pile with 41 seconds to the end. Players on both sides matched while their teammates laughed at the benches before referees could intervene.
Scheifele’s purpose followed a false step through the Vancouver defense, where the record bounced between Alex Edler’s feet on the Canucks’ blue line. season The middle has a nine-game streak.
“I saw clearly that (Demko) away from the net, however, he’s a pretty stellar goalkeeper, a strong body, so he made my move and bit it a little bit, so I was content to wear it,” Scheifele said. I don’t have many getaways, so it’s a laugh to prepare them. “
