Winnipeg Jets rookie Viggo Bjorck scored his first NHL goal as the Jets defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday night at Winnipeg.

The 20-year-old forward celebrated with teammates Mark Scheifele, Mario Ferraro and Kyle Connor after netting the milestone goal in the second period. Goaltender Stuart Skinner made key saves to preserve the lead, while the Jets' physical play included several collisions between players such as Morgan Barron and Max Sasson, and Tyrel Bauer and Drew O'Connor.

The victory improves Winnipeg's record early in the 2026-27 season.
