The game at Canada Life Centre was attended by 15,225 fans who witnessed the Ducks struggle to find their rhythm throughout all three periods. Despite their efforts, they were unable to convert any of their 21 shots into goals. The team's powerplay opportunities did not yield results either; they had three chances but failed to capitalize on any of them. Additionally, faceoff wins were scarce for the Ducks as they only won 13 out of 50 attempts.


On defense, Anaheim's goaltender made an impressive total of 32 saves but still allowed six goals against from the Jets' aggressive offense which took a total of 38 shots on goal. Unfortunately for the Ducks, their penalty kill was put to test and could not withstand pressure from Winnipeg's powerplay unit that scored three times during shorthanded situations.

The home team Jets displayed strong performance across all areas with an effective powerplay that contributed significantly to their victory by scoring three goals out of five shots when they had a man advantage. Their faceoff success rate stood at an impressive 74 percent and they managed to block nine shots from reaching their netminder who completed a shutout with his flawless save percentage.


Looking ahead, fans can catch the next game for Anaheim as they visit St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center on March 17th at around 6:00 PM CT. This matchup will be available for viewing across various networks including ESPN+ online and BSSC, BSSD, and BSMW on television.
