Jets’ Dawson Mercer savors 2-goal revenge game vs. Devils
The Winnipeg Jets had Tuesday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils circled on the calendar ever since the blockbuster trade that sent Connor Hellebuyck from Manitoba to Newark on Oct. 23 — and although the star goaltender wasn’t between the pipes, the contest still delivered.
A key reason for that was Dawson Mercer, who came to Winnipeg in the deal. In his first game against his former team, the 25-year-old scored twice, including the game-winner in the third period, as the Jets beat the Devils 4-2 at Canada Life Centre.
