Jets earn shootout victory over Sabres to keep slim playoff hopes alive

Ken Wiebe and Sean Reynolds break down the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday, which included regulation goals from Blake Wheeler and Mason Appleton and shootout markers from Pierre-Luc Dubois, Mark Scheifele and Wheeler to secure the extra point. This was a vintage performance from Connor Hellebuyck, who made 35 saves in what was his league-leading 57th start of the season. The Jets improved to 32-25-10 and pulled within one point of the Dallas Stars, who hold three games in hand.  The Jets are right back in action on Thursday in Toronto against the Maple Leafs.
