Facing Connor Hellebuyck — the league's most dominant goaltender this season — Utah poked holes in what had been a brick wall all year, cracking Winnipeg's net wide open.
The Jets, who lead the Central Division by five points and sit second in the NHL rankings, came into Delta Center winning three of their last four games.
