00:24I'll see you next time.
00:36Welcome inside.
00:37Thanks so much for joining us here on EA Sports.
00:40I'm John Butchergrass alongside Darren Pang and two of the best in the NHL hooking up tonight.
00:46East versus West.
00:48The crowd is ready.
00:49We are ready.
00:50We know you are ready.
01:00Just about ready to get underway here.
01:03Fans are settling in for an exciting game tonight.
01:06Players are just about ready to go for the opening faceoff.
01:12The Jets have the opening draw and the first period is underway.
01:19Shifley.
01:19Kocheck by Harris.
01:23Gucci, the rookie, hasn't scored yet, but he's close.
01:27Here's the backdoor chance.
01:28Walked away by Haleput.
01:31Denied again.
01:38Haleput has come up with a massive stomp on that last sequence.
01:41When you look at this again here on the replay, you can see that's a dangerous chance in tight.
01:45And he is just so composed and is able to make an outstanding save to keep it out.
01:53Plenty of runway left in this frame.
01:56Nothing doing yet.
01:57We're scoreless.
02:01Faceoff is one in the offensive zone.
02:06And he quickly moves it to Harris.
02:09Play is stopped.
02:10And he'll take the faceoff.
02:22The draw is one, and they take possession.
02:28Send it back to the point.
02:30Need a deep pass along the blue line.
02:36Harris.
02:39Huck back in the neutral zone.
02:41And they'll look to attack again.
02:45Now he's off the post.
02:48Oh, boy.
02:49That's about as close as it gets there.
02:51Off the post in a scoreless game.
02:52And you can feel how much that one would have meant.
02:56Oh, checked away nicely.
03:02And that pass goes astray.
03:07The crew have it.
03:08And they'll look to move it.
03:09Gets it over to Harris.
03:12And they carry in their own zone.
03:17Johansson.
03:17Johansson.
03:18Save.
03:19Huck cradled by DeMelo.
03:22The crew have taken it back here.
03:24Huck comes outside the zone,
03:26and they'll have to regroup in the neutral zone.
03:30Huck picked up along the wall by Chisholm.
03:34And now he passes it over to Hustodinov.
03:39Johansson.
03:40Locked it away.
03:42Hellebuck made the save and steered that puck right to the corner.
03:45A smart play to keep it out of danger.
03:47Taken at the point.
03:49Blocked aside by Hellebuck.
03:53Fires.
03:54No way through.
03:55And he quickly goes to Chisholm.

04:04Lowry.
04:05Picks up the puck, and the pressure continues.
04:08The whistle blows.

04:21Offensive zone draw is successful.
04:24Move quickly to Tucker.
04:26And now it's over to Zari.
04:29Marchman.
04:30What a stop to deny the one-timer.
04:33Can't connect.
04:34Puck comes to the neutral zone.
04:35They'll have to regroup.
04:38That's picked up by Chisholm.
04:44Here's the pass.
04:46Intercepted.
04:49Bryson.
04:51Quickly up to Barron.
04:53Arm in the air.
04:55There's a delayed penalty coming.
04:56Goals.
04:58Scored.
05:01Goal number two for him this season.
05:08And we're on the board first.
05:101-0.
05:17That's a really good second effort, and you'll see it here on the replay.
05:20These are the goals coaches love because it shows engagement, hard work, and determination to stay with the play after
05:26the initial save, track down the puck, and get another chance at it.
05:39The Jets with the go-ahead goal there, and now they lead by one here in the first.
05:44Both teams getting set, and the linesman is set, and the linesman is set to drop the puck again.
05:51Passes it off!
05:52That pass just out of reach.
05:55D'Angelo.
05:59Winnipeg's got possession back here in the defensive zone.
06:03And that's taken by Cunnan.
06:06Karras.
06:09Puck taken at the point.
06:12Save!
06:13Just a piece of that one.
06:19Not far from the halfway line here.
06:21We've got a 1-0 score.
06:27The Jets win the draw in their own end, and they'll take possession.

07:45Players getting into position.
07:47Getting ready for this next face off.
07:51Winnipeg's won the draw.
07:52And they have the puck.
07:53Winning that draw means they can put the pressure on after that icing call.
08:02Hope checks it away.
08:04Quickly blocked away by Haleput.
08:07That is sharp goaltending right there.
08:09A really dangerous look from a prime area.
08:11But it's turned aside.
08:12Quickly up to Velarde.
08:14And here's a pass to Morrissey.
08:18Good stop by Soderblom.
08:21And the puck is covered up.
08:23The whistle blows.
08:24And we'll get a break here.
08:25To our next face off.
08:35The Jets win the face off.
08:36And they have it.
08:40Shot.
08:41Off their own teammate.
08:43A good old fashioned fight for possession along the wall.
08:46As they try and dig out that puck.
08:50Taken there now by Hustodinov.
08:52And he feeds it now to Smith.
08:55Just broken up.
08:59Nicely up to Ayafalo.
09:02Ripped.
09:03There's a big save.
09:12The Jets have gathered the puck.

09:20Ayafalo.
09:21What a save.
09:23Soderblom's come up with a huge save on a quality chance from the slot.

09:30Can't quite connect on that pass.
09:32Now a quick pass to Ayafalo.

09:44Gathered in by Tucker.
09:51Gets it back up top here.
09:56Johansson.
09:56Play is stopped.
09:58We'll regroup.
09:59And get ready for another faceoff.
10:02Let's go to the replay.
10:03And get a closer look at that last hit.
10:05This is the kind of contact that gets everybody's attention.
10:08Strong through the body.
10:09Finishes the check.
10:10And really changes the temperature of the game.
10:12At the back end of this period.
10:14Just one goal separates them.
10:161-0.
10:19Faceoff is won in the offensive zone.
10:27Takes the puck now in the Ozone.
10:29Punched away with the blocker.
10:32What a smart save there.
10:33Not only does he make the stop.
10:34He steers it right to the corner and out of danger.
10:38Here's the shot.
10:40Close.
10:40Save.
10:42Hangs on to that puck.
10:44Will get ready for another faceoff.
10:46As the whistle blows.
10:49Sticks on the ice and getting ready to resume here.
10:55Draw one in their own end.
10:58Nyquist.
11:03Zeri just snicked his equipment.
11:07Can't connect.
11:08Comes outside the zone.
11:10Don't have to touch up.
11:13Sweet little play there by Zari.

11:42Final minutes.
11:43Ticking away in this period.
11:441-0.
11:45Not a lot on the score sheet.
11:47But a good game.
11:48Winnipeg's won the draw.
11:49They got the puck.
11:50They'll look to attack.
11:52Awful body.
11:53All kinds of mayhem in front of the goal.
11:56Stick in the lane.
11:57Broken up.
11:58Whistle blows.
11:59And that's offside.
12:13Winnipeg's won the draw.
12:14And play continues here.
12:16Perfetti.
12:18Barely got a piece of that one.
12:20Gets the whistle.
12:22And he'll take the faceoff.
12:36And here comes the one-minute-to-go call in the period.
12:40And he quickly goes to Hallander.
12:43And that's moved quickly to Tucker.
12:46Picked off.
12:47Nice read by Niederreiter.
12:49Niederreiter.
12:50Nice save by Soderblom.
13:14Down to the final few minutes of the period.
13:17One zip in a grinder.
13:20Paceoff is won in the defensive zone.
13:23And he sends it across to Mikheyev.
13:28Mikheyev.
13:28Here's the pass.
13:30Save.
13:32Somehow.
13:33Subway.
13:34That one stays out.
13:36Can't collect that dish.
13:38Oh!
13:38Big save as the clock heads to zero.
13:41And the horn sounds.
13:43And the period ends.
13:45Good one so far here tonight.
13:47As the players head to their rooms.
13:49And the Zambonis will hit the ice.
13:52Back with more.
13:53Right after this.
13:54Go to PiS.
13:57correlates.
13:59Cool.
14:13Cool.
14:14Cool.
14:15Cool.
14:16Cool.
14:16Cool.
14:18Cool.
16:33Kicked off. Good read.
16:35The Jets are pressuring the puck all over the ice.
16:38Every man is doing his job.
16:41The crew have picked it up along the boards.
16:50The Jets take over possession.
16:55Puck taken there by Morrissey.
16:57And now he pushes that across to Conner.
17:01Throws it over.
17:02Big save there.
17:04Play is stopped.
17:06And he'll take the face off.
17:09Soderbloom's come up with a tremendous save.
17:12That's a high danger chance he was able to shut down, and you can see it on the replay.
17:15I like that he didn't panic at all.
17:17He tracked it beautifully, stayed composed in the crease, and read it perfectly to rise to the challenge.
17:25Settling in early in this stanza.
17:27It's 1-0, an early edge.
17:33Face-off win here in the defensive zone.
17:38Nyquist.
17:39The pass.
17:41Nyquist.
17:41Sealy.
17:42And he makes the save.
18:05Oh, you've got to love those one-timers.
18:07They're nearly impossible to stop, and that one was perfect.
18:31Opening minutes of the period.
18:33We are all tied up in this one.
18:38Face-off one, and they take control of the puck.
18:41Quickly up to Niederreiter.
18:44He keeps that stick out there and just knocks the puck away.
18:50And the linesman blows the whistle, and that's an icing, and the play is dead.
18:57Both teams set for the next face-off.
19:03Winnipeg's won the draw.
19:04They're looking to go to work here.
19:06Tape to tape to Marchment.
19:10Now he sends it down below the goal line.
19:14That pass out of reach.
19:15They'll have to touch up the laid-off side.
19:20Puck scooped up along the wall by Chisholm.
19:23And there it goes now to Nyquist.
19:27Nyquist.
19:29Shot blocked in front.
19:31Hit their own teammate.
19:35Puck cradled by Tucker.
19:38Tucker.
19:40Can't handle that pass.
19:42Makes the save.
19:44The whistle blows.
19:46Gets the stoppage.
19:47And he'll take the face-off.
19:51Still plenty of time left in this frame.
19:54You can feel the energy in this crowd.
19:56It's a tie game.
19:58Winnipeg's won the Ozone draw.
19:59They'll look to set up here.
20:01Oh, another body part hit.
20:04Takes in the puck.
20:05Kept out with the paddle.
20:08That chance came from the low slot.
20:10But he didn't flinch.
20:11He held his ground to make a strong save.
20:20Winnipeg's won the draw.
20:23Ayafalo.
20:25Denied!
20:26That is sharp goaltending right there.
20:28A really dangerous look from the climb area,
20:30but it's turned aside.
20:32Good defensive play on the poke check by Lowry.
20:36Lowry.
20:36Lowry keeps it out with the glove.
20:40And the puck is covered up.
20:42The whistle blows.
20:43And we'll get a break here for our next face-off.
20:54Offensive zone.
20:55Face-off won.
20:57Namastikov.
20:58Oh, what a save!
21:01Those are not easy saves to make.
21:02That's a quality look from the slot.
21:04Play is stopped, and the referee is signaling for a penalty here.
21:10Well, you can't interfere with a player.
21:12It's plain and simple.
21:13This isn't football, Pucci.
21:14This is hockey.
21:15The puck was nowhere near him.
21:25Face-off in the offensive zone.
21:27First power play chance of the game.
21:29Yeah, and this is their first power play opportunity here.
21:32So a real good chance to try and grab a little momentum
21:35and see what this special team group can do.
21:43Special teams coming into play again in this one.
21:47Players set to go, and the power play will continue.
21:50Pion!
21:50Blocked in front.
21:52Never saw that one coming.
21:54Oh!
21:55Checked away nicely.
22:00Out it comes, and the zone is cleared.
22:06The Jets take it now.
22:08Gilardi.
22:13Good defensive play there with the stick.
22:15Can't quite connect.
22:18Can't quite connect on that pass.
22:22Winnipeg's got the puck now behind the net.
22:26Pionk.
22:26And that's nugged up to Shifley.
22:31Colpitar!
22:32Denied.
22:35And they clear the zone.
22:37Goalie comes out to play the puck.
22:40So back to get it now.
22:42Changing lines up front.
22:44The power play continues here.
22:47A little too much force there.
22:49Looked like a slash arm is in the air.
22:52Delayed penalty coming.
22:54Just got a piece of that one.
22:56There's the whistle.
22:58And here comes the official call from the referee.
23:02Oh, you can't take a whack at it like that.
23:04That's an obvious slashing minor penalty.
23:07He's going to go to the penalty box for two.
23:25Winnipeg's power play opens up five on three.
23:28Well, right off the draw here.
23:30This is a huge opportunity on the five on three power play.
23:33And when the power play gets set up quickly, it can give them a chance to strike.
23:37Score!
23:59Yeah, and it starts with him winning that loose puck battle right there.
24:03And once he does that, he stays with it and finishes the playoff.
24:24The Jets with quality over quantity in this game.
24:28Their opportunistic goal has given them a one-goal lead here in the second.
24:35Miromano.
24:36Crisp short pass to D'Angelo.
24:40And he pushes that across to Zari.
24:45Set all the way out of the defensive end.
24:48Take that puck in the defensive zone and they'll head up the ice looking for a power play goal.
24:54Crisp short pass to Connor.
24:57Passes it off.
24:59Slot save by Soderblom.
25:02What a save there.
25:03Shooter in the low slot and the goalie comes up with a huge stop.
25:09Picked up by Zari.
25:11Ozone pressure continues as they take the puck.
25:15Zari!
25:153, 4, 3.
25:201, 2, 3.
25:292, 3.
25:340, 3, 3, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8.
25:37Turn.
25:37What a save there.
25:39Hold on.
25:39So many great chances of one of the guys, Pucci.
25:41But they can't score. They come so close, and then the puck goes the other way, and they end up
25:46scoring.
25:57And after those two quick goals in under two minutes, a timeout called here to settle things down.
26:04Yeah, and that's exactly what this is for, Bucci, just to caulk the bench after the game turned in a
26:08hurry.
26:08So he gets set to drop the puck, and the power play will resume.
26:15And they win the neutral zone draw, and they have possession.
26:19Now he moves it to Lorentz.
26:23And that puck is set out.
26:26Cross ice pass to Velarde.
26:28Puck comes out, and they'll look to regroup in the neutral zone.
26:34Nice soft tape to tape.
26:37Nice co-check there by Lorentz.
26:40The Jets have it now.
26:43That pass just out of reach.
26:46Play is stopped.
26:48Will regroup and get ready for another face-off.
26:53So the player's set to go again, and the penalty kill will resume.
27:01Winnipeg's won the draw. They take control.
27:04Zang just got enough of that one.
27:07Soderbloom's been a big reason this one stays tight.
27:09His save percentage is excellent.
27:11He's handled a heavy workload, and in a game this close, that composure matters so much.
27:17Just about halfway through the frame.
27:19We got a tie game.
27:25The face-off is won, and they take possession.
27:33Takes the puck now and looking to make a play.
27:36Winnipeg's picked it up and has possession.
27:41Good play there on the poke check.
27:46Oh, not quite.
27:49Hangs on to that puck.
27:51Will get ready for another face-off as the whistle blows.
27:55So the linesman has the puck.
27:57Players get into position, and this penalty kill will resume.
28:02Quick take-to-take to Morrissey.
28:06Winnipeg's back to even strength now.
28:09And that power play took a hard left turn giving up the shorty.
28:12Boy, that's a real punch in the gut for a power play unit.
28:15You've got the advantage, but somehow it ends up behind you.
28:18Now it's about simplifying.
28:42Oh, they've only got a big chocolate-back puck right there, but not enough.
28:46And it ends up going by.
28:53Oh, they've only got a big chocolate-back puck right there, but not enough.
29:01And it ends up going by.
29:03The crew have said they like playing with the lead much more like any team, but it fits their style.
29:09And they lead by one with the go-ahead power.
29:16The Jets have control off the draw, and we stay right with the flow here.
29:21Dumped it deep into the opposite corner.
29:25Just missed that connection, nice deflection.
29:32And it's a quick pass to Hustadinov.
29:35Locker saved by Halepa.
29:38What a smart save there.
29:40Not only does he make the stop, he steers it right to the corner and out of danger.
29:44Feeds it across.
29:48Tucker.
29:49Oh, can't quite connect.
29:52Quick this to Chisholm.
29:54Chisholm.
29:55And he sends it to Nyquist.
29:58Puck picked up along the wall by Cologne.
30:03Sweet little dish there.
30:06And here's a shot.
30:07Gets it with the glove.
30:09Gets the whistle.
30:11Play is stopped.
30:12And we'll get ready for another face-off.
30:19The Jets still trying to break through here.
30:21They have more shots on goal.
30:23But so far, getting goalied.
30:24Midway through the game, they tread.
30:27The crew have the puck along the board.
30:30Slides the puck across to Benoit.
30:33And he slides it quickly to Lorentz.
30:38Mikheyev.
30:39Mikheyev.
30:39Here's the pass!
30:41Save!
30:43That is a big-time stop right there from the slot.
30:46That's a real dangerous chance.
30:50Deflected away.
30:52Couldn't quite complete that pass.
30:55Quickly up to Roseanne.
30:59Tape to tape.
31:05K.F.
31:07Died.
31:08Another one that doesn't get through.
31:10Too much traffic.
31:12Has the puck now.
31:14Kicks it out of the scrum.
31:16Nice read.
31:17Interception.
31:17The Jets are forcing turnovers.
31:20They're doing a great job of pressing the puck.
31:22The crew have control of the puck now.
31:28Lorentz.
31:29Puck tied up right along the board.
31:32And now he passes up to Nemesnikov.
31:36Nemesnikov.
31:40And we're gonna have an icing here as the whistle blows.
31:48Final stretch here before the break.
31:503-2.
31:51Tightening up.
31:55The Jets win the draw and they have it.
31:57That's a big win in the Dots after the icing call.
32:00That gives them a chance to get it out and change.
32:02Loose puck and now a race to get there.
32:11The Jets were hoping more pressure would equal more goals.
32:15But so far this one late in the second just is not happening.
32:18More shots on goal but fewer goals.
32:28The crew have the puck in their own end.
32:33Marchment.
32:33The Jets.
32:34Sets it over.
32:35The Jets with the puck now.
32:45The crew have come up with it now.
32:50Passes it.
32:52Just out of reach.
32:56He brings it along the wall.
33:01Marchment.
33:02He makes the save.
33:04Has it now on the point.
33:08Intercepted.
33:10DeMelo.
33:12And he gives it over to Samberg.
33:15The crew have gained control along the wall.
33:19Save with the blocker.
33:21And he quickly moves it to Cunnin.
33:24Picked off by Nemestikov.
33:27Shot blocked in front.
33:29Never saw that one coming.
33:32Love the way they're controlling the puck down low.
33:34Your cycle is brilliant.
33:36And the coach loves it.
33:39Down to 60 seconds left here in period number two.
33:43Meter rider.
33:45Scooped up by Tucker.
33:48And that's knocked aside.
33:51Winnipeg's got the puck back along the boards.
33:54Smith.
33:55Locked away by Halepunk.
34:03Big face off here after the icing.
34:06Tired defenders.
34:08Maybe a tired goalie too.
34:09And the attackers know this is the chance.
34:12They do.
34:12And that's why this draw is everything.
34:15Win it clean.
34:15Get it to the net quickly.
34:17And make that tired goalie work.
34:27Horns on second period ends in a really exciting tilt.
34:32Grab yourself your favorite beverage, some snacks,
34:35and get ready for an exciting third period.
34:38We will be right back right after this.
34:48Let's go.
38:13And making those timely saves, it gives your bench a real sense of belief.
38:17You can settle in, play your game, and not grip the stick quite so tight.
38:28Face off coming up here and down by one.
38:31They're shortening the bench and loading up the scoring lines.
38:34Yeah, this is exactly what coaches do it, trying to get their best offensive players out there to tie it
38:39up.
38:40And he quickly goes to Volody, and he shuts the door.
38:46Marchant.
39:17Takes that puck in the defensive zone.
39:21Makes the save.
39:23Hellebuck made the save and steered that puck right to the corner.
39:26A smart play to keep it out of danger.
39:30That stick gets extended for the poke check.
39:33Can't quite connect on that pass.
39:36Tucker.
39:37And he slides it quickly over to Lorentz.
39:42At the point now.
39:44Shot.
39:45Blocker saved by Hellebuck.
39:49Pass intercepted.
39:51Winnipeg's disrupting play.
39:53Forcing turnovers by pressuring the puck.
39:56Sampoog.
39:58Stored!
40:21Well these guys work on these shots all the time that's what they practice it that's what they're the best
40:26in the world and this shot was just inside the post.
40:29It was perfect.
40:43They say your best players have got to be your best players.
40:46And when you play them more you've got a better chance and that's what's happened here.
40:50Great adjustment by the coaching staff to get the top players out there more.
40:54More ice time and they've tied the game.
40:57A pull-all now.
41:01The Jets have picked it up in the defensive zone.
41:05Nice play.
41:07And that pass goes astray.
41:10Quickly up to Perfetti.
41:12Corraled by Miramanov.
41:15The Jets get the puck now.
41:19Kopitar.
41:20That is absolute larceny.
41:24And he quickly moves it to Cunnin.
41:27Winnipeg's got possession now in the defensive end looking to bring it up.
41:32Sets it over.
41:34Out of the way.
41:36That is a big time stop right there from the slot.
41:38That's a real dangerous chance.
41:43Nearly halfway through this frame.
41:45The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
41:50Winnipeg's won the draw and they'll look to attack.
41:53Off the paddle.
41:55That sure looks like a slash.
41:57Arm is in the air.
41:58Delayed penalty.
41:59Goalie at the bench.
42:01Extra attacker on.
42:03There's the whistle.
42:04Heading to the box.
42:05And here's the official announcement.
42:08Oh, that's a wicked one right there.
42:10I mean, that is a slashing minor.
42:12And it is obvious that the day is 24 hours, Gucci.
42:14He's going to the penalty box for two.
42:32Ozone faceoff about to commence.
42:35First power play chance of this tilt.
42:37In a tie game, this is where that number one power play can really flex a little bit.
42:41Hold on here, partner.
42:42That's going to be a penalty on the play.
42:44We get a whistle here.
42:46Penalty coming as the play is stopped.
42:50Well, this is going to be an interference call.
42:52I know exactly what he's trying to do there, partner.
42:54But you just can't get in the way and impede a player when they don't have the puck.
43:12Four-on-four hockey coming up.
43:15Yeah, and right off this faceoff setup, with both teams playing four-on-four,
43:19there's going to be a little more ice out there.
43:20And that could really change the look of things.
43:22The crew have picked it up along the boards.
43:30Gets the whistle, and he'll take the faceoff.
43:38Not quite halfway there yet.
43:40It's all tied up.
43:47Winnipeg's won the faceoff, and they take possession.
43:50And makes a pass to Nemestikoff.
43:52That pass just out of reach.
43:56Johansson.
43:57Whistle blows, and we have it offside.
44:05Here come the center iceman.
44:07Bucket to bucket.
44:08Eyeball to eyeball.
44:09For this faceoff.
44:12Faceoff won.
44:12Let's see what they can do now.
44:19And here's a pass to Perfetti.
44:25Taken at the point.
44:27Blocked in front of the shooting lane.
44:30Johansson.
44:33Tape to tape to D'Angelo.
44:35Winnipeg's got limited time on the power play, so they'll have to move fast.
44:39The Jets have killed it off, and we're back to even strength.
44:44Makes the D-to-D pass.
44:49Tucker.
44:50Put it.
44:51Oh, he can't put it away.
44:55Back to the point here.
44:58Puck escapes the zone.
45:00They'll have to regroup at center ice.
45:04Tucker.
45:07Corralled by Cunnan.
45:09And he moves it right to Johansson.
45:12Quick pass up.
45:15Bryson passes it off.
45:17And the save is made.
45:20Play is stopped, and he'll take the faceoff.
45:39The draw is won, and they take possession.
45:51Here's the pass.
45:53From the point.
45:55Slap shot.
45:56Stumped.
45:56I'll tell you what, that's terrific goaltending.
45:59Staying with it and coming up with consecutive saves.
46:12Faceoff is won in the offensive zone.
46:15Save!
46:16The whistle blows.
46:18Gets the stoppage.
46:19And he'll take the faceoff.
46:22Calling the players in.
46:24Getting ready to drop the puck and resume play here.
46:29Offensive zone faceoff run.
46:31Save!
46:34Gathered at the point now.
46:36Another save!
46:38Oh, baby!
46:39Can you believe that one?
46:41I'll tell you what, that's terrific goaltending.
46:43Staying with it and coming up with consecutive saves.
46:57I'll tell you what, that's terrific goaltending.
46:59Staying with it and coming up with consecutive saves.
47:11And that's what your leaders do.
47:13They step up at important times of the game.
47:15In a close game, they find a way to give their team that push.
47:31Clue have to feel good now with this one-goal lead.
47:34They've been pushing the pace.
47:35Now will they continue to play that way here in the third?
47:42Winnipeg's won the draw, and play continues here.
47:46The crew have the puck along the board.
47:48Picked up by Pionk.
47:51And now he moves it to Conner.
47:54Gilardi.
47:55Denied!
47:57That's a tremendous stop.
47:58That's where shooters can do a lot of damage,
48:00but the goaltender tracks it beautifully.
48:17Pace-off is won in the defensive zone.
48:20Harris.
48:21He quickly goes to Hustodinov.
48:26Same!
48:29Puck escapes the zone.
48:30They'll take it at center ice.
48:32The goalie comes out, and he'll play the puck.
48:35Battle starts up along the boards.
48:38Sweet little play there by Harris.
48:40Can't quite connect on that pass.
48:43Puck sent over to Conner.
48:46Good vision there.
48:50Sweet saucer pass over the sticks, and he completes it.
48:54And the puck is covered up.
48:55The whistle blows.
48:57And we'll get a break here to our next face-off.
49:00The game within the game.
49:02The big face-off.
49:03And this one certainly applies right here.
49:06As time ticks on, getting possession is so crucial right now.
49:11Play is stopped.
49:12We'll regroup.
49:13And get ready for another face-off.
49:16Getting set now.
49:18Face it off and resume play.
49:21And they win the offensive zone face-off.
49:24Jammed up, and they battle for it along the boards.
49:31Chances, goals, and constant pressure has made this a high-scoring and highly entertaining game
49:35as we head down the home stretch.
49:37Good defensive play there on the poke check.
49:41D'Angelo!
49:43Awful body.
49:44All kinds of mayhem in front of the goalie.
49:49And he fires it to Niederreiber.
49:51Nice read by Nyquist.
49:56Nyquist.
49:57Winnipeg's coming away with it in the defensive zone.
50:00Hope checks it away on the forecheck.
50:03Lift the stick.
50:04Takes the puck.
50:06Marchment.
50:07Hope checked away nicely.
50:11Feeds it over to Tucker.
50:14Tucker!
50:19Sweet pass along the blue line.
50:22Ozone pressure continues as he takes the puck.
50:26Up high, received at the point.
50:28And he's got it.
50:32That's it.
50:33Back it over here.
50:38True ball lead now.
50:405-3.
50:46Yeah, and on the replay, it's that rebound opportunity right there.
50:50He stays right with it and buries it.
51:09Time is beginning to run down on the frame.
51:12Holding a two-goal advantage.
51:17Faceoff one, and here they go.
51:18And he moves it to Lorentz.
51:22Lorentz!
51:23Steered away.
51:25Johansson!
51:26Crisp short pass to Connor.
51:29And he quickly goes to Volardi.
51:32Good stick there to disrupt the play.
51:35Sends the pass ahead.
51:42Chisholm!
51:44Intercepted.
51:45Nice read by Pionk.
51:46Winnipeg's got speed and tenacity.
51:48That's how they're pressuring the puck.
51:50Goalie to the bench.
51:51Extra attacker on.
51:52And they need one here.
51:54Hangs on to that puck.
51:56Will get ready for another faceoff.
51:58As the whistle blows.
52:01Both teams set for the next faceoff.
52:08Winnipeg's won the draw.
52:09They got the puck.
52:10They'll look to attack.
52:11D'Angelo.
52:14And that's moved quickly to Smith.
52:16Pucks in and deep.
52:18The Jets take over possession.
52:21Sends it forward.
52:24Nice pass ahead.
52:25The net is empty.
52:52It's a nice winner.
52:53We're into third period.
52:54Goaltender's called.
52:55You've got to get off your toes.
52:56You've got to get to the offensive zone
52:58because all you've got is an empty net.
53:00Tire it in there, and it goes all over.
53:03Well, a huge exhale for that young rookie right there
53:06after scoring his first career goal here in the league.
53:10And that settles you down in a hurry
53:12because once you get that first one, John,
53:14you feel like you belong out there.
53:16Rift shot and a missed chance.
53:19Can't connect there.
53:20Good defensive play with the stick.
53:23Take it out of the play.
53:25Oh, another body part hit.
53:27Good read by Piaf.
53:31Kicked off. Good read.
53:37And you can feel the love tonight.
53:39The crowd is on their feet,
53:42expressing their pleasure with their squad tonight.
53:46Here's the shot.
53:49There's the hole.
53:50This one is a fight.
53:53This is where it starts to wear on a group partner.
53:57Yeah, and that's the hard part, Pucci.
53:59You can talk about stretches of good play,
54:00but when it keeps ending the same way,
54:02it starts getting heavy mentally.
54:04And here they come back out to salute the fans,
54:07putting a fitting finish on a home ice win.
54:09That's a great tradition right there, Pucci.
54:11It's the team's way of saying thank you
54:13for all that energy and support.
54:14For Darren Pang, I'm John Pucci-Gross.
54:17Thank you so much for watching
54:18our great game of hockey.
