Teuvo Teravainen, Alex Vlasic and Andre Burakovsky scored for
Chicago, and Spencer Knight finished with 26 saves in the opener
of a six-game trip.
The Jets scored quick goals in each of the first two periods.
After Chicago took a penalty at 1:21 of the first period,
Namestnikov scored 21 seconds later on a quick feed from behind
the net by Gustav Nyquist.
An unlucky bounce led to the Blackhawks evening it up at 8:57.
Hellebuyck went to play a puck when it was dumped in the corner,
but it hit a seam in the boards and bounced straight to
Teravainen as he was skating to the front of the net.
Vilardi and Scheifele teamed up on a 2-on-1 to go ahead 2-1 with
3:04 remaining in the opening period.
A Chicago turnover early in the second gave Connor the puck and
he passed it to Scheifele, who fired a wrist shot from the right
faceoff circle past Knight at 1:54.
Vilardi scored his second of the night and fourth of the season
with 8:41 remaining in the middle period after DeMelo sent him a
puck from the corner.
After Morrissey recorded his first goal of the season at 10:12
of the third, Vlasic scored his first less than two minutes
later. Burakovsky and Connor finished off the scoring.
Winnipeg's Jonathan Toews had an assist in his first game
against his old team, which chose him third overall in the 2006
NHL draft. Toews, 37, missed the past two seasons with health
issues and signed a one-year deal with his hometown Jets. He has
two goals and four assists.
