The Rangers went into Winnipeg looking to take the season series from the Jets and perhaps play spoiler, and did just that. Chris Kreider scored twice before the Blueshirts scored twice in the first minute of third to blow the game open. Ryan Strome also got off the schneid with his first goal in 13 games.
There was a scary moment when Igor Shesterkin had a Jet shoved into him by Tony DeAngelo. He was favoring his leg before getting pulled by the concussion spotter. Henrik Lundqvist made one save in his absence before Shesty was back in net.
