The Winnipeg Jets exploded for six goals in the opening frame against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night.
Jack Roslovic scored twice, and the Jets also got markers from Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little, Brendan Lemieux, and Andrew Copp, as they outshot the Ducks 14-4 in the first 20 minutes.
Winnipeg set a franchise record for most goals in a period with the early offensive explosion, and ultimately tied a franchise record for most goals in a game in the 9-3 victory.
Anaheim goaltender John Gibson was left in for all six first-period goals before being replaced by Chad Johnson after Lemieux's tally made it 6-0 with 2:19 remaining in the period.
