Game review

Winnipeg Jets 2, Florida Panthers 5, with the game decided in the second period. Florida led after the first and used a two-goal middle frame to take control, then added two more in the third.

Florida’s 38 shots and 62.7 percent faceoff win rate helped drive the result, and its power play converted 40 percent compared with Winnipeg’s 25 percent.

Against the closing spread, Panthers -1.5 covered by 1.5, and the 6.5 total went over by 0.5. StatsBench’s posted picks split: Kyle Connor OVER 0.5 goals won, while Seth Jones OVER 0.5 power-play points lost.
