Ducks veterans Ryan Getzlaf and Adam Henrique
also scored in the second period as Anaheim set a season high
for goals scored. Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck was pulled from
the game after Grant scored the Ducks' fourth goal of the second
period.
A total of five goals were scored by both teams in the second
period with four of them coming in a chaotic 2:52 span.
Nikolaj Ehlers scored a pair of goals for the Jets, who were
coming off a victory over the Calgary Flames in the outdoor
Heritage Classic but have now lost five times in their past
seven games.
The Ducks earned a victory at the start of a season-high,
seven-game homestand. They entered having lost four of their
past five games, and they managed only nine goals on their
just-concluded, 1-3-0 road trip.
The Jets took a 1-0 lead 55 seconds into the game when Ehlers
scored, but the Ducks got even midway through the opening period
when Cam Fowler scored his third of the season. It was also
Fowler's 61st with the Ducks, a team record for a defenseman,
passing Scott Niedermayer on the franchise's all-time list.
Blake Wheeler gave Winnipeg a 2-1 lead when scored at 12:02 of
the first off a Ducks turnover behind the net. It was his fourth
of the season.
Getzlaf scored 38 seconds into the second period, his sixth, to
tie the score 2-2. Henrique gave the Ducks a 3-2 lead at 6:18 of
the period with his eighth of the season. Then the goals came
quickly.
Ehlers scored his second of the game at 7:00 of the period to
tie it 3-3 before Terry made it 4-3 at 8:00 with his second of
the season. Grant also scored his second of the season at 9:10,
giving the Ducks a 5-3 lead.
Bryan Little scored at 6:39 of the third period off an Ehlers
pass, his second of the season, to bring the Jets within a goal.
The Ducks' Carter Rowney put the game away with two goals in the
final four minutes, including one into an empty net.
Hellebuyck lost for the first time in seven lifetime games
against the Ducks. He made 14 saves while allowing five goals.
He is now 5-1-1 against Anaheim in his career.
Laurent Brossoit stopped seven shots in relief of Hellebuyck.
