The Winnipeg Jets wasted no time getting on the scoreboard Thursday, as a point shot from Tyler Myers gave them a 1-0 lead just 15 seconds into the game.
Winnipeg killed off an early 5-on-3 disadvantage, then nearly added a second goal during a dominant power play chance midway through the first period that saw them fire eight shots at Dallas goalie Antti Niemi.
Kyle Connor would make it 2-0 late in the period after converting on a 2-on-1 with Nikolaj Ehlers. It's the first goal of the rookie forward's NHL career.
Shots after one period were 21-13 in favour of the Jets.
