DETROIT — Kyle Conner had a goal and two assists to reach the career high of 500 points, and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-2 on Wednesday night.

Neal Pionk scored two goals for the Jets while Gabriel Vilardi had a goal and an assist, and Nino Niederreiter and Colin Miller also scored. Connor Hellebuyck made 19 saves to help Winnipeg bounce back from its first loss of the season against Toronto on Monday.

Connor, who entered the game with 499 career points, extended his season-opening point streak to 10 games. He has 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) this season.

Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat scored power-play goals for Detroit, which has lost three straight. Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider each had two assists and Alex Lyon made 23 saves.

Takeaways

Jets: Their top-ranked power play didn’t have a chance until the third period. Pionk scored his second goal of the match on a point shot. They went 1 for 2 with the advantage and are now 13 for 29.

Red Wings: The offense just didn’t put enough pressure on opposing goalies. They have been outshot 211-127 over the last six games.

Key moment

The Jets clung to a one-goal lead early in the third. They got some breathing room 10 seconds into the period after Detroit defenseman Jeff Petry failed to control the puck in his own zone. Niederreiter sent it toward the Red Wings slot and it deflected off Detroit defenseman Ben Chiarot and into the net.

Key statistic

The Jets had allowed two power play goals in their first nine games and none on the road. The Red Wings converted two chances in the second period.

Following

The Jets visit Columbus on Friday, while the Red Wings host Buffalo on Saturday.
