Barbashev’s two goals helps Golden Knights beat skidding Jets

Ivan Barbashev’s pair of late goals propelled the Vegas Golden Knights to a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.

Barbashev scored with a high backhand shot past Connor Hellebuyck at 14:31, then followed up with an empty-net marker with 1:45 remaining.

The Jets have lost five straight (0-4-1), matching a season-high skid from late January (0-4-1).

Jack Eichel had an empty-net goal and Pavel Dorofeyev also scored for the Golden Knights (40-25-8), who were playing the third contest of a four-game road trip (2-0-1).

Logan Thompson stopped 39 shots for Vegas, which is 7-3-1 in its past 11 games.

Sean Monahan scored for the Jets (44-23-6) in front of the team’s seventh sellout of the season and third consecutive full house of 15,225 fans at Canada Life Centre.

Hellebuyck made 23 saves in Winnipeg’s second game of a five-game homestand.

Vegas led 1-0 after the first and it was tied 1-1 heading into the third.

A playoff-like intensity kicked in early when Jets towering defenceman Logan Stanley traded punches with mismatched Vegas forward Keegan Kolesar.

A couple minutes later, Winnipeg captain Adam Lowry put a big check on centre William Karlsson.

Golden Knights forward Chandler Stephenson then tripped Nino Niederreiter, which sparked all skaters to pair up just 6:44 into the first frame.

Winnipeg went on the power play, with Vegas ahead 7-2 on shots on goal. The Jets directed three shots at Thompson, including a one-timer by Mark Scheifele the goalie denied with a pad.

Dorofeyev got the game’s first goal when he fired the puck from inside the circle over Hellebuyck’s glove at 15:56.

Vegas went on the power play 41 seconds later but couldn’t stretch its lead.

Monahan recorded his 23rd goal of the season when he tipped in a Nikolaj Ehlers’ shot at 3:31 of the second.

The Jets had three power plays in the middle frame but couldn’t capitalize.

Winnipeg also had the man advantage seven minutes into the third period and didn’t get a shot on Thompson.

Vegas defenceman Nicolas Hague was then dinged for an illegal check to the head of Jets forward Vladislav Namestnikov.
