  "account": "The Winnipeg Jets suffered their first regulation loss of the season on Friday night, falling 5-1 to the Anaheim Ducks at the Canada Life Centre. Coming off a last-minute victory against the Avalanche, Winnipeg hoped to continue proving skeptics wrong. However, they looked sluggish and their power play failed to pose a threat without the injured Josh Morrissey. The game started with good flow and play until Anaheim scored on a counter-attack in the first period. Judd Caulfield scored his first NHL goal of the season, becoming only the fourth player in team history to do so. Despite a strong effort from Adam Lowry and Travis Mitchell, the Jets were unable to capitalize on their power play opportunities. The Ducks' fourth line scored twice in the second period on counter-attacks, doubling their lead. Anaheim's top line executed a well-timed play in the third period to make it 3-0. The Jets pulled their netminder in desperation but could not prevent Nikita Nesterenko from putting the puck in the empty net with 40 seconds left. The Jets now have a record of 3-1-1 on the season.",
  "summary": "Kyle Connor scored his sixth of the season but it came after Anaheim opened up a 3-0 lead and was not enough to spark a big comeback.",
