          Takeaways

          Jets: Keep showing resilience. The Lightning jumped out to an early 2-0 lead but Winnipeg pulled even early in the second period and never trailed from there.

          Lightning: Gave the Jets all they could handle. Nikita Kucherov had a two-point effort, including his 10th goal of the season.

          Key moment

          Stanley laid out a crunching, open-ice bodycheck on Luke Glendening early in the third period. Zemgus Girgensons responded by fighting Stanley, but was given an instigator penalty, fighting major and misconduct. Winnipeg scored on the ensuing power play.

          Key stat

          Winnipeg outshot Tampa Bay 34-30. 

          Up next

          The Jets will continue their four-game homestand when they host the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday.

          The Lightning will finish their four-game road swing in St. Louis on Tuesday.
