Mark Scheifele ended Talbot’s shutout bid with 1:16 left.
Connor Hellebuyck stopped 24 shots for Winnipeg.
Tempers flared late in the period after Kings defenseman Andreas Englund hit Jets forward Cole Perfetti in the back and into the boards. Dylan Samberg jumped to Perfertti’s defense. Samberg and Englund got fighting majors, and Samberg was also handed a penalty for instigating and a 10-minute misconduct.
