Caulfield helps Ducks ground the Jets 5-1

Winnipeg's first loss of the NHL season occurred as the Anaheim Ducks outplayed the Jets 5-1. Rookie Judd Caulfield scored his maiden NHL goal and contributed an assist to the Ducks' victory. Tim Washe and Mikael Granlund each tallied a goal and an assist, while Sam Colangelo and Nikita Nesterenko netted two goals combined for Anaheim.

Conner scored his sixth career goal and 329th career goal, surpassing Ilya Kovalchuk for third place on the franchise's all-time list. Dostal stopped 15 of 16 shots for the Ducks, who outshot the Jets 38-27. The Jets struggled to convert close chances, particularly on the power play, and were without their star defenseman Josh Morrissey, who missed the game with an upper body injury.

Anaheim's Colangelo converted a pass from Beckett Sennecke early in the third period to put the Ducks up 3-0, a lead they never relinquished. Ducks forward Caulfield also assisted on Washe's first goal.
