The Jets killed all six Vegas power plays - impressive considering the fire-power the Knights feature in Marchessault, Karlsson, Stastny and Pacioretty.
"I thought we did a good job up ice not allowing them clean entries," said Blake Wheeler.
"That can be frustrating for a PP when you are breaking the puck out and having to come 200 feet every time. Not getting clean entries. You want to set up in the zone and make plays and try to score goals."
It was in the middle frame where the Jets really put their penalty killers to work, taking four penalties. Winnipeg even had to kill off a 5-on-3 for 50 seconds to close out the period.
"So much of it is our quickness by our forwards if you can get over on the puck," said Paul Maurice.
"Then it's just confidence. It takes some courage to stand on that line, there's a lot of speed coming at you. If they get by you, you could have a problem. Even on the ones where they did beat our guy on the flank our back end was very quick."
Of course, it would be ridiculous to not give Laurent Brossoit credit for his part of the penalty kill. He made 12 of his 43 stops with the Jets shorthanded. While the goaltender stood tall, he is happy to pass the credit to his teammates.
