• Perreault, who has never scored more than 18 goals in a season, has five to go along with one assist during his six-game point streak. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck gave up two goals on bad bounces in falling to 6-2-0 in his past eight games, allowing three or more goals for the third consecutive game. Most of Winnipeg’s big offensive performers were quiet against Los Angeles, including center Mark Scheifele, who finished without a point after recording 14 in his previous five contests.

• Jones has allowed only 12 goals over his past seven games, posting a .936 save percentage in that span. Center Logan Couture scored twice against the Wild, giving him three goals in his past two games and three consecutive two-point games. Center Joe Pavelski scored his team-leading 21st goal Tuesday, pacing a San Jose offense tied for eighth in goals per game at 3.31 per contest.

• San Jose ranks third in the NHL in penalty kill at 85.3 percent and opponents are 0-for-6 on the power play in the past four games.
