Scheifele and Perfetti lead Jets past Wild 5-2

Winnipeg defeated Minnesota 5-2 at Canada Life Centre on 13 October 2026, with Mark Scheifele contributing a goal and two assists. Cole Perfetti scored twice, Kyle Connor added a goal and an assist, and Stuart Skinner made 19 saves.

Kirill Kaprizov scored both Minnesota goals in the first period. His first cancelled out Perfetti's opener, and his second restored a 2-2 tie just 44 seconds after Scheifele had put Winnipeg ahead. The Jets then scored the final three goals without reply.

Perfetti's power-play goal at 16:36 of the second period gave Winnipeg the lead for good. Connor extended the advantage early in the third and Cole Koepke completed the scoring at 14:42. Neal Pionk assisted twice, while Calvin Pickard made 20 saves in his Minnesota debut.

The win took Winnipeg to 4-1-1 and ended Minnesota's two-game winning sequence. This is the completed 13 October fixture, reported after the final and checked against the NHL recap and independent AP account; it is not a new match played on the archive addition date.
