Ivan Barbashev breaks late tie, adds empty-netter in Golden Knights' 4-1
victory over Jets
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) --- Ivan Barbashev broke a late tie and added an
empty-netter, Logan Thompson made 39 saves and the Vegas Golden Knights beat
the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 on Thursday night.
Barbashev made it 2-1 with a high backhander past Connor Hellebuyck with 5:29
left, then scored into the empty net with 1:45 remaining.
Pavel Dorofeyev opened the scoring late in the first period, and Jack Eichel
also had an empty-net goal. Defending champion Vegas improved to 40-25-8, going
7-3-1 in its last 11 and 2-0-1 on a four-game trip.
Sean Monahan tied it for the Jets early in the second, and Hellebuyck made 23
saves. They have lost five straight to match their worst skid of the season and
fall to 44-23-6.
A playoff-like intensity kicked in early when towering Jets defenseman Logan
Stanley traded punches with mismatched Vegas forward Keegan Kolesar.
