You could almost hear the collective sigh of relief as the Winnipeg Jets hit the practice ice on Thursday. There was all-star defenceman Josh Morrissey, in full stride, in full uniform – no non-contact yellow – and showing no sign of the injury that caused him to leave Tuesday’s 5-2 win over Nashville.

Connor Hellebuyck made 23 saves to pick up his league-leading 27th win of the season for Winnipeg, which is 3-1-2 in its season-long, eight-game homestand. Nils Hoglander scored a third-period goal for the Canucks (19-14-10), who finished a five-game road trip going 1-2-2. Kevin Lankinen stopped 27 shots for Vancouver.
Having a recession-proof power play in the economy that is the NHL season — where every move is placed under the microscope by opposition coaches looking for an edge or a way to limit the effectiveness of a dangerous group — has been an important asset for the Jets.
Connor’s hat trick went into the franchise record books behind two former Jets. Blake Wheeler scored three goals in a span of 4:20 in 2017, while Sean Monahan notched his in 5:17 last February.
Then, flipping the script, Connor scored his second of the game with 6:59 remaining in the frame - this one coming off a rebound from a Pionk point shot. Vilardi picked up the secondary assist - his second of the game - on Connor's 25th of the season.
