WINNIPEG -- Jacob Trouba scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 33 saves to help the Winnipeg Jets to a 4-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings at MTS Centre on Tuesday.
Andrew Ladd and Alexander Burmistrov scored for Winnipeg (17-17-2), which won its third consecutive home game and has victories in six of the past seven games at MTS Centre.
Pavel Datsyuk scored for the Red Wings (18-12-7), who have lost back-to-back games. Goaltender Jimmy Howard made 10 saves for the Red Wings before being pulled for Petr Mrazek with Winnipeg ahead 4-0. Mrazek made 11 saves.
An issue for the Jets all season, special teams helped the Jets take a 2-0 lead by 10:29 of the first period. Trouba's shorthanded goal at 4:27 opened the scoring. While killing off Adam Lowry's double-minor for high sticking, Trouba broke loose on a pass from Drew Stafford before beating Howard with a high shot. Trouba's third goal gave the Jets' 26th-ranked penalty kill six shorthanded goals this year, third-most in the NHL.
Detroit went 0-for-4 on the power play in the first period.
Ladd capitalized during a 5-on-3 man-advantage for his 10th goal. After Detroit took penalties 41 seconds apart, Ladd moved into the left circle, took a pass from Blake Wheeler and put a shot past Howard.
Burmistrov's goal, his first since Nov. 4, extended Winnipeg's lead to 3-0 at 4:13 of the second. Trouba's second goal of the game at 11:43 made it 4-0. It was his first two-goal game since Jan. 18, 2014.
Datsyuk scored Detroit's only goal on the power play 1:52 into the third period. It was his fifth goal of the season.
