Jets start slow but soar past Coyotes

Winnipeg Jets center Andrew Copp (9) celebrates his goal against the Arizona Coyotes with Marko Dano, left, Paul Postma (4), Josh Morrissey (44) and Ben Chiarot, right, during the first period of an NHL hockey game Thursday, Nov. 10, 2016, in Glendale, Ariz.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Right-winger Blake Wheeler ripped his first goal in a dozen games in the second period to lift the Winnipeg Jets to a 3-2 triumph over the Arizona Coyotes at the Gila River Arena Thursday night.

Jets centre Nic Petan attacted two defenders and then sent a pretty pass to Wheeler left alone in the slot, and the Jets captain beat Coyotes netminder Louis Domingue at 10:18 for his fourth goal of the season and just his first since Oct.
