The Anaheim Ducks missed a chance to move into a tie for sixth place in the NHL Pacific Division when they lost 3-0 Wednesday to the Winnipeg Jets.

Jet goalie Connor Hellebuyck turned aside all 29 shots on goal fired by the Ducks, whose record went to 30-36-9, good for 69 points and seventh place in the division.

The win improved Winnipeg’s record to 44-25-4. The Jets’ 92 points places them in first place in the Central Division.

Next up for the Ducks will be a game on Friday in which they host the San Jose Sharks (43-22-8, 94 points) who are in second place in the NHL Pacific.
