Lafreniere's Goal and Assist Help Rangers Beat the Jets 6-3

Thursday night's loss at Canada Life Centre saw the Winnipeg Jets fall 6-3 to the New York Rangers, further dimming their playoff chances.
Vilardi, Kings forward, was called for hooking 59 seconds in, and New York scored nine seconds later, as coach Scott Arniel cited recurring D-zone coverage issues.
A seesaw scoring sequence culminated when Braden Schneider, Jets defenceman, set up Gabe Perreault, Rangers forward, for the 6:57 third-period game-winner and Noah Laba, Jets forward, iced it with 50.8 to go.
With 18 regular-season games left, the Jets will host the league-leading Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon, and goalie Connor Hellebuyck made his seventh consecutive start, finishing with 11 saves.
The defeat deepened Western Conference pressure as the San Jose Sharks moved into the second wild-card berth and are six points up, while Jets defenceman Dylan DeMelo played his 700th NHL game Thursday.

Rangers beat Jets to continue winning ways at worst possible time

The Rangers are playing some of their best hockey at the worst time. Development and draft lottery odds should be the name of the Rangers' game with just 17 contests remaining on the 2025-26 season schedule, but the meaningless matchups — like their 6-3 win over the Jets Thursday night — have seemingly done wonders for the team psyche.
