Johnny Oduya had a goal and an assist and Evander Kane and Alex Burmistrov scored goals to help Winnipeg beat the Islanders for the fifth time in the last six meetings.

Pavelec recorded his seventh career shutout and first since April 7 to give the Jets their third straight victory at Nassau Coliseum.

New York enjoyed a wide edge in play in the second period, peppering Pavelec with 19 shots, but was unable to capitalize on three power-play chances.
