His Winnipeg Jets celebrated their twelfth win of the season, their fourth in a row, with a 3-0 win at home against Utah in their 13th game of the season.

Fiala also scores

Fiala scored shortly before the second intermission on the power play to give his team a 2:1 lead. The MVP of the last World Championship, who now has seven goals for the season, scored again in the fourth game after his internal suspension imposed by his club for missing a meeting. It was the Kings' 8th win in their 14th game.
Suter wins, Moser loses
