Andrew Copp scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck set an NHL record for most wins in a season by an American goaltender and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 on Saturday.
Jets and Blackhawks players also wore the word "BRONCOS" on the back of their game jerseys in place of their own names to honor the victims and survivors of the fatal bus accident Friday involving Saskatchewan's Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team.
Hellebuyck, the 24-year-old Commerce, Michigan, goalie made 30 saves to pick up his 44th win (44-11-9), surpassing Tom Barrasso's 1992-93 run with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Dustin Byfuglien and Kyle Connor also scored for the Jets (52-20-1), who have won five straight and a franchise-record nine in a row at Bell MTS Place.
The Jets, who relocated from Atlanta in 2011, also set franchise records for wins, points and home wins (21).
Winnipeg opens the NHL playoffs next week at home against the Minnesota Wild.
Jeff Glass stopped 35 shots for the Blackhawks (33-39-10), who didn't make the playoffs for the first time since 2007-08.
