Judd Caulfield scores first NHL goal to help the Ducks beat the Jets 5-1

Anaheim Ducks rookie Judd Caulfield made his NHL debut in style, scoring his first career goal to help the Ducks overcome a slow start and defeat the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 on Friday night. The win marked a strong rebound for Anaheim, who had previously dropped a 5-2 decision to the Edmonton Oilers just days earlier, while the Jets—led by Kyle Connor’s late-game heroics—extended their three-game winning streak despite the absence of starting goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.

The Ducks, now at 2-1 in the Pacific Division, improved to a 2-1 record after a shaky opening stretch, while the Jets (3-0-1 in the Central) maintained their early-season momentum with a key victory in Winnipeg.
