WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Mathieu Perreault scored the deciding goal in the sixth round of the shootout to give the Winnipeg Jets a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night.
Perreault did some slow stickhandling before flipping a forehand shot past Roberto Luongo to end Winnipeg’s four-game losing streak.
Dustin Byfuglien had a goal and an assist, Adam Lowry and Bryan Little also scored in regulation, and Connor Hellebuyck made 41 saves.
Aleksander Barkov, Reilly Smith and Vincent Trocheck scored power-play goals — with Jets defenseman Toby Enstrom in the penalty box for each one — in the second period for Florida.
