In Anaheim, Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Winnipeg Jets shut out the Ducks, 3-0.
For team some pundits picked to be listless this season, the Jets posted 10 wins in the month of Movember.
“Our goaltender was really, really good again,” Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said.
Neal Pionk, Nikolaj Ehlers and Kyle Connor scored for the Jets who improved to 16-9-1.
“We didn’t get many shots in here tonight, we didn’t give up many shots either,” Blake Wheeler said. “Just a matter of staying in that game.”
The Ducks dropped to 11-12-4.
“After the first, I thought it’d be a 10-to-12-shot game,” Maurice said. “It was hard to generate. Both teams were blocking a lot of shots. It was not an offensive game early, it was more physical and kind of territorial.”

John Gibson made 17 saves in the loss.
“We really needed one of those to go in tonight,” Ducks head coach Dallas Eakins said. “It was one of those games that I just thought whoever’s going to score that first goal was probably going to have a pretty good chance at winning it, and obviously we didn’t get it.”
