    Ducks use 2nd-period flurry to topple Jets
    • March 11, 2026

    WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Alex Killorn, Ryan Poehling and Jackson LaCombe each had a goal and an assist to lead the Ducks to a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

    Tim Washe also scored for the Ducks, who scored three times in a 1:44 span of the second period. Lukas Dostal made 12 saves for the Ducks (36-25-3), who rebounded from a 4-0 loss to St. Louis on Sunday and won for the eighth time in their past 10 games.

    Morgan Barron scored for Winnipeg (26-27-10). Connor Hellebuyck had 31 saves for the Jets, who saw their three-game win streak and six-game point streak (4-0-2) halted.

    After a scoreless first period in the Ducks outshot Winnipeg 8-2, the Jets opened the scoring at 5:04 of the second when Barron notched his 10th of the season, deflecting an Elias Salomonsson one-timer past Dostal.

    The Ducks quickly flipped the script with their midgame flurry.

    Jansen Harkins took a shot from the right circle that was saved by Hellebuyck with his right pad. The rebound came out diagonally, and Washe beat Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury to the puck, banking it off the left post and in to level the score at 6:24.

    Killorn then swept the puck toward the net from the left point and Poehling deflected it into the net as he skated through the slot for a 2-1 lead just 14 seconds later.

    The Ducks scored again at 8:08 after Poehling forced a turnover at the Winnipeg blue line. The puck went to Killorn for a 2-on-1 going the other way. Killorn elected to shoot from the right circle and sent it into the far side of the net to extend the lead to 3-1.

    The Ducks’ three successive goals are the team’s fastest three goals scored in more than six years, since the Ducks last did it in 1:37 in a 4-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Dec. 27, 2019.

    The Ducks increased their shot advantage to 28-7 after two periods.

    LaCombe sealed it with an empty-net goal with 26 seconds left as the Ducks improved to 21-0-0 when leading after two periods.

    The win keeps the Ducks in first place in the Pacific Division, while continuing a hot run for goaltender Dostal, who has now won 13 of his past 15 games.

    The Ducks outscored the Jets 12-6 in three games this year.
