Winnipeg Jets defenceman Dylan DeMelo scores big goal in 600th career NHL game
WINNIPEG — The Jets found an unlikely hero Thursday night.
Defenceman Dylan DeMelo scored the winner with 27 seconds left to give Winnipeg a 2-1 triumph over the Seattle Kraken before 13,559 fans at Canada Life Centre.
Nikolaj Ehlers grabbed the puck that had bounced off a stanchion and then fed DeMelo at the point. DeMelo’s screened shot beat Seattle netminder Joey Accord.
“Yeah, that was awesome,” said DeMelo, who scored just his second goal of the season. “Obviously I’m a guy who doesn’t score a lot.”
