Winnipeg Jets Beat New Jersey Devils 4-2: Mercer Scores Twice Against Former Team Including Winner in Fourth Straight Win
Emotions ran high in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. On the night of November 10, the Winnipeg Jets beat the New Jersey Devils 4-2 at home in an NHL regular-season game, winning their fourth straight after a nine-game skid.
Jets forward Dawson Mercer scored twice against his former team, including the tiebreaking power-play goal with 8 minutes 2 seconds remaining in the third period. The Reuters roundup said they were Mercer's second and third goals since changing teams.
Kyle Connor scored a power-play goal in the first period and added an empty-net goal with 58 seconds left. Cole Perfetti contributed two assists, and goaltender Nico Daws made 19 saves in the win.
For New Jersey, Jake Allen made 21 saves as the Devils' five-game winning streak ended. Jesper Bratt and Cody Glass scored 44 seconds apart in the opening two minutes of the second period to tie the game.
The roundup said former Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck had his trade request granted on October 23, when he was dealt to the Devils in a package that included Mercer and Daws. Winnipeg fans chanted derisively at Hellebuyck during the game.
