Chibrikov scores winner in NHL debut as Winnipeg Jets secure Jennings Trophy with 4-2 win over Canucks - Winnipeg

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. Nikita Chibrikov scored the game-winning goal to break a two-two deadlock midway through the third period in his NHL debut and Brad Lambert had an assist in his first game. The Jets matched their franchise record for wins in a season from 2017-2018 with their 52nd victory in front of a sellout crowd.
