Josh Morrissey had a goal and two assists, leading the visiting Winnipeg Jets to a 5-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday at Rogers Arena.
Jonathan Toews, Nino Niederreiter, Gabe Vilardi and Alex Iafallo also scored for the Jets (10-6-0). Connor Hellebuyck made 30 saves for the goaltending win. Kiefer Sherwood, Jake DeBrusk and Brock Boeser scored for the Canucks (8-9-1). Quinn Hughes added three assists and goalie Kevin Lankinen made 19 saves in relief of injured starter Thatcher Demko, who stopped five of the eight shots he saw.
The teams traded five goals in a hectic first period.
Toews open the scoring 4:57 in, directing a puck in off his skate after Morrissey walked in from the point and fired it in front.
The Canucks responded at 10:21, when the red-hot Sherwood scored his 11th of the year, finishing off a nifty give-and-go with Hughes. Vancouver then took a 2-1 lead on the power play at 11:58. DeBrusk took a long feed from Hughes, came down the left side and beat Hellebuyck blocker side. It was his sixth goal of the year, with five of those with the man-advantage.

Morrissey answered with a power-play goal of his own just under three minutes later, firing a laser of a point shot past Demko to tie it at 2-2.
The Jets then took the lead back 15 seconds after that, when Niederreiter slotted home an Adam Lowry pass in the crease to the right of Demko. The Vancouver goalie appeared in some discomfort late in the period and was pulled in favour of Kevin Lankinen (playing his third game in four days).
Shots after one period favoured the Canucks, 12-8.
The second period was less eventful, as neither team could manage a goal. Lankinen stopped all 12 shots he faced in the middle frame.
Winnipeg took a two-goal lead just 48 seconds into the third, again on the power play, when Vilardi took a pass from Kyle Connor in the slot and backhanded a shot past Lankinen.
The Canucks pulled their goalie in favour of an extra attacker with approximately four minutes to play and Boeser pulled the Vancouver within one, roofing one over the left arm of Hellebuyck to make it 4-3 with 90 seconds to go. Boeser has eight goals on the season.
With the Vancouver net still empty, Iafallo iced it with 47 seconds left in the 600th game of his NHL career.
Vancouver begins a three-game road trip Friday (4 p.m.) in Carolina.
NOTES: The Jets snapped a three-game losing skid… Vancouver’s Conor Garland played in his 500th game… Demko did not return to the game, after not dressing in back-to-back weekend games… Hughes also left the game briefly in the second period but quickly returned and led all skaters with more than 28 minutes of ice time.
