The Winnipeg Jets have sure picked a great time to match their longest win streak in franchise history. Despite scratching more than a third of their normal lineup, the Jets secured their eighth win in a row to close out the regular season by beating the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 Thursday night. The Jets also secured the William M. Jennings Trophy for Connor Hellebuyck in the process, given annually to the goaltenders who played at least 25 games for the team that allows the fewest goals in a season. The Canucks opened the scoring 5:22 into the game when Dylan DeMelo tried to clear a loose puck from in front of Laurent Brossoit but he sent it right off Conor Garland's leg and into the net.
