It was a night to remember in Winnipeg last night on several fronts, as fans were relentless in their jeering of goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, but it was Dawson Mercer who stole the show on the ice.

The disgruntled Hellebuyck was traded to New Jersey two weeks ago after not playing a single game for the Jets to start the year.

The Bay Roberts native was one of the main cogs in the trade, and he lived up to expectations by scoring the first goal and the third goal, which turned out to be the eventual winner.

The fans were relentless in venting their frustration out on Hellebuyck with chants the entire night, even though he was the backup.

Winnipeg scored an empty-netter for a 4-2 win, and Mercer, who now has three goals since joining the team, was named the 1st star.
