The Jets played great in the first 40 but it was still pretty close and at most a slight advantage.
The shift that really changed the tide of the game IMO was the shift where first Enstrom was rocked, and then Scheifele.
After that shift the Ducks started to take control.

Ya the momentum of the game def shifted in the middle of the 2nd no doubt. But just before that Winnipeg missed a wide open net and hit the post, and before that Thorburn had a wide open rebound and shot it directly into Andersens gut. Galley, who spent the whole night talking about his man crush on Perry, said the Ducks look totally rattled.
The Ducks were the better team but the Jets carried the play plenty and had 2 narrow misses that would have put this game perhaps out of reach. I don't see this being a 5 games or less situation for Anaheim... but now I'm worried they beat the Jets in 6 @ home instead of 7.
