Jets Get By Blackhawks

Playing in his 27th game of an injury-riddled campaign, defenseman Nathan Beaulieu's one-timer from the point that hit a Chicago player and got by goalie Corey Crawford to give the Jets a 3-2 lead. After the puck went in, Beaulieu pretended to throw a monkey off his back.

 

Beaulieu missed time this season for three separate injuries, including broken bones in his hand and foot.

 

It was his first goal since Winnipeg acquired him from Buffalo at last year's trade deadline. His previous one came with the Sabres on Nov. 27, 2018. He has 12 career goals in 359 games.

 

Mason Appleton had a goal and an assist and Jack Roslovic also scored for Winnipeg, which was coming off two straight losses. Dmitry Kulikov added a pair of assists.

 

Connor Hellebuyck made 31 saves for the Jets (30-25-5), who are 3-2-0 on a six-game homestand.

 

Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist and Ryan Carpenter also scored for the Blackhawks, who were coming off an 8-4 win in Calgary on Saturday night.

 

Crawford stopped 35 shots for Chicago (26-25-8), which completed a 1-4-0 road trip.

 

The Blackhawks return home against the New York Rangers on Wednesday.
