The Wild answered early in the third period, when former St. Cloud State Husky Matt Hendricks scored at 2:07 to tie the game at one. Ivan Lodnia and Louie Belpedio each were given assists on the goal.
However, the Jets earned the win at 11:45 on a Joe Morrow goal for the 2-1 lead that Winnipeg would protect until the end of the game.
