Dylan DeMelo scored with 27 seconds left in regulation to give the Winnipeg Jets a hard-earned 2-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Thursday.

DeMelo's goal with 27 seconds left was the difference in his 600th NHL game as the Jets picked up their third win in a row.

After the Mikko Rantanen trade, anything seems possible. Let's break down who the Jets might target to upgrade their forward corps.

WINNIPEG -- Dylan DeMelo broke a tie with 27 seconds remaining in the third period, and the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Seattle Kraken 2-1 at Canada Life Centre on Thursday.

It was a bad night for Seattle to be missing a top penalty killer. Winger Brandon Tanev was ruled out due to illness. Tye Kartye, who was scratched in favor of John Hayden during the Kraken’s last game in Pittsburgh, went back in for Tanev.

A suburban Seattle police officer is set to be sentenced Thursday for the 2019 shooting death of a 26-year-old homeless man he was trying to arrest for disorderly conduct outside a convenience store.

The Winnipeg Jets have really started to cook on this season-long eight-game homestand, going 3-0-1 after a midding 0-1-1 start. They’ll try to keep the good times rolling on Thursday night as they host a Seattle Kraken team that has spent the past week in enemy territory, going 2-2-0 so far on a five-game trip that is about to come to an end.
