Michael Hutchinson, Adam Lowry lift Winnipeg Jets over Vancouver Canucks 2-1
WINNIPEG — Adam Lowry can say the first game-winning goal of his career, at the very least, staved off playoff elimination for one more game.
Michael Hutchinson made 28 saves and Lowry scored a third-period power-play goal to lift the Winnipeg Jets to a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night.
Lowry scored the eventual winner with 8:13 to go in the third period to keep the Jets still mathematically in playoff contention, albeit hanging on by a string.
It was the first winner in Lowry’s three-year NHL career and it kept the Jets’ tragic number standing at one, with a loss or a St. Louis win the rest of the way closing the door on the post-season.
