First Period

The opening period saw the Jets take an early lead, netting two goals and setting a strong tone for the game. Logan Stanley was instrumental in this period, contributing significantly to both defense and offense. The Isles were unable to respond, leaving them scoreless as they headed into intermission.

Second Period

In the second period, both teams found their rhythm offensively. The Jets added another two goals to their tally, with Morgan Barron making his presence felt on ice by scoring one of these crucial goals. Meanwhile, the Islanders managed to break through Winnipeg's defense twice but still trailed behind as they struggled against Eric Comrie's solid goaltending performance.

Third Period

As play resumed in the third period, Nino Niederreiter sealed Winnipeg's dominance by adding another goal for his team. Despite several attempts from New York’s side and an increase in shots on goal—35 compared to Winnipeg’s 26—the Isles couldn't close the gap further due largely to Comrie’s impressive saves throughout all periods.
