On Friday night, the Winnipeg Jets secured a 3-0 victory over the Seattle Kraken, marking their first shutout of the season and improving their season record to 40-17-5. The game, held in Seattle, saw goals from Mark Scheifele, Adam Lowry, and Nikolaj Ehlers. Laurent Brossoit, the Jets' goaltender, made 17 saves in this defensive showcase. This win, which avenges a previous loss to the Kraken, comes after the NHL trade deadline where the Jets were active. The Kraken, having made minimal changes to their roster at the deadline, are still in the hunt for a postseason spot but failed to score against the Jets. The game remained scoreless until the third period when the Jets' offensive efforts finally broke through. The Jets continue their third-period dominance, now +31 in third-period goal scoring, with Vancouver on deck tomorrow night. Dylan Samberg was noted for his tremendous game.

#NHLJets continue their third-period dominance. They're +31 now in third-period goal scoring now. That's tops in the NHL. They win 3-0 in Seattle, avenging Tuesday's loss. Vancouver on deck tomorrow night. Tremendous game by Dylan Samberg tonight.
#NHLJets improve to 40-17-5 on the season with a 3-0 victory over @SeattleKraken on Friday. First shutout of season for Laurent Brossoit, who made 17 saves in a tidy defensive effort. Goals from Mark Scheifele, Adam Lowry and Nikolaj Ehlers. Jets face #Canucks on Saturday night.
Make it 2-0 Jets with 8:32 to go as Winnipeg gets a couple of rebound chances that Adam Lowry finally converts on. #SEAKraken #NHL https://t.co/Z0jicUu1oa
Winnipeg finally breaks the scoring ice with 12:45 to go in regulation. A failed clearing attempt leads to Mark Scheifele eventually finding himself in alone on Daccord. He hesitates just enough for Daccord to commit and then tucks puck behind him for 1-0 lead. #SEAKraken #NHL https://t.co/3femBAqnCL
Outstanding job by Josh Morrissey at the left point, he finds Mark Scheifele and it's 1-0 #NHLJets at 7:15 of the third period. Vladislav Namstnikov with the primary assist.
0-0 after two in Seattle. #SeaKraken with the edge is offensive volume and quality with large credit to solid defense keeping the Jets high in the zone. https://t.co/XiBvuAfHCq
Still no goals to speak of in this tightly contested tilt at Climate Pledge Arena. #NHLJets 0 @SeattleKraken 0. SOG 18-12 for Winnipeg so far.
Scoreless after a period. Jets had 9-8 edge in shots but both teams limited the really dangerous chances. Yanni Gourde had a potential 3-on-1 rush broken up late. #SEAKraken #NHL https://t.co/Caf4AOrgi6
#NHLJets 0 @SeattleKraken 0. SOG 9-8 for Winnipeg. Fast, fun period despite the lack of scoring. Nice sliding play by Jets D Dylan Samberg to pressure Yanni Gourde and break up a 3-on-1 rush.
Kraken trade deadline has come and gone. This is the team the rest of the way. Here is where they stand in our weekly power rankings. https://t.co/IEoc369k4l #SEAKraken #NHL
#SeaKraken done for the day. Wennberg trade and Eberle signings their two moves. Team remains in the post-season hunt.
The noon NHL trade deadline came and went and the Kraken roster remained intact, an indication the front office is ready to see where this late playoff push goes. Via @KateShefte https://t.co/3V8fGcIDPR

Kraken decision looms on whether to keep or trade Jordan Eberle just as playoff odds start to improve -- now just 6 points out of not only both wild-card spots, but 3rd place in division. https://t.co/2laDHrUcaU #SEAKraken #NHL
Believe #Oilers are one of the teams keeping an eye on #SeaKraken and Jordan Eberle situation. Seattle and Eberle are working on an extension, but it sounds like term is the hang-up. If Seattle doesn't have Eberle signed, he will be moved prior to Friday's deadline.
