ice this season. Winnipeg has a 10-2-0 record in its past 12 games against St.
Louis.

Mark Scheifele led Winnipeg with two goals and two assists, and Ben Chiarot
had a goal and an assist.

Down 3-1 at the second intermission, the Jets drew even with two goals in the

4-3 at 5:11, but Bryan Little tied the game at 18:20.

Hurricanes 3, Red Wings 1

Petr Mrazek made 20 saves against his former team, Micheal Ferland scored for
the fourth straight game, and Carolina snapped a three-game losing streak with
a win at Detroit.

Wings. He nearly had another, as the Wings didn't score until the third
period.

tallied for a team-high sixth time. Jordan Martinook added an empty-net goal.
Andreas Athanasiou scored for Detroit.
