The Winnipeg Jets won their second duel in eight days against the Nashville Predators (5-2). Nino Niederreiter and Roman Josi scored again after a long drought.
The two Swiss struck during the third period in Manitoba. Josi, decisive passer on the first reduction in the score of the Preds (37th Forsberg 3-1), brought his team back two lengths in the 50th minute while Winnipeg had regained a three-goal lead a little earlier. But “El Nino” confirmed the success of the Canadian franchise with a goal in the empty cage (58th).
