Cole Perfetti, Blake Wheeler and Adam Lowry scored and Josh
Morrissey had a pair of assists for Winnipeg, which has won
seven of its past eight games.
David Rittich made 22 saves for Winnipeg. It was the backup
goalie's best statistical performance of the season in a rare
start with the Jets playing the second game of a back-to-back.
Taylor Raddysh scored and Arvid Soderblom made 29 saves for
Chicago, which has lost three in a row and 11 of their last 12
games.
Perfetti gave Winnipeg a 1-0 lead in the first period when he
scored his sixth goal at 15:21.
The Jets forward took a pass from Morrissey, skated through the
offensive zone and slipped past Blackhawks defenseman Ian
Mitchell before ripping a wrist shot past Soderblom.
Wheeler scored on the power play 56 seconds into the second to
give Winnipeg a 2-0 lead.
The Jets' former captain tipped a shot from the slot by
Morrissey through traffic.
It was Wheeler's ninth goal of the campaign and second of the
week after he also scored on Thursday against the St. Louis
Blues.
Raddysh scored for Chicago at 11:04 of the second to cut the
deficit to 2-1.
Raddysh won a loose-puck battle in the slot with Jets forward
Axel Jonsson-Fjallby and whipped a shot past Rittich from short
range for his eighth goal of 2022-23.
Lowry added an insurance tally for Winnipeg at 12:25 of the
third to make it 3-1. Jansen Harkins had the primary assist,
establishing space below the goal line before making a sharp
pass to Lowry for the forward's sixth goal.
Winnipeg returns home on Sunday to host the Washington Capitals.
Chicago also plays Washington in its next game, hosting the
Capitals on Tuesday.
