EDMONTON - The Winnipeg Jets contained the NHL’s top two scorers and their goaltender Connor Hellebuyck did the rest in a 4-1 win Wednesday over the Edmonton Oilers to open their first-round playoff series. Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were held off the scoresheet with a combined six shots on goal. Dominic Toninato scored the third-period game winner for Winnipeg in its first playoff meeting with Edmonton since 1990 in their Smythe Division days. Tucker Poolman also scored and both Kyle Connor and Blake Wheeler added empty-netters for the Jets. The Oilers outshot the visitors 22-14 over two periods, but the game was tied 1-1 heading into the third.
