Jets Fall 4-1 to Ducks, Leave California Empty-Handed
The Winnipeg Jets ended their California road trip without a victory, falling 4-1 to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night at Honda Center. It marked the Jets’ third straight loss, their first such streak of the season, dropping them to a 9-6-0 record overall.
The Ducks, meanwhile, extended their winning streak to seven games and strengthened their hold on first place in the Pacific Division. They capitalized with two even-strength goals and two on the power play, taking full control of the game’s tempo.
The Ducks “exposed a few cracks in the Jets’ defensive structure,” leading to several odd-man rushes and prime scoring chances.
Defensive miscues and ineffective puck management cost the Jets, who struggled to contain Anaheim’s balanced offensive attack. Winnipeg will look to regroup as their six-game road trip continues.
