Game review

Montreal Canadiens beat Winnipeg Jets 2-1, with the game decided in the second period. After a scoreless first, Montreal scored both of its goals in the middle frame, and Winnipeg’s lone goal in the third wasn’t enough.

Lane Hutson scored for Montreal, while Cole Caufield led the game with two assists and two points. Isak Rosen scored Winnipeg’s goal and Haydn Fleury had an assist. The Jets generated more shots and takeaways, but their four power plays came up empty, while Montreal blocked 18 shots and narrowly won faceoffs to protect the lead.

For bettors, Winnipeg covered the closing 1.5 spread by 0.5 despite losing, and the closing total of 5.5 settled under by 2.5.
