Judd Caulfield scores his first NHL goal and records an assist as the Anaheim Ducks beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-1. The goal comes in a game where Anaheim’s scoring is spread across multiple players, helping them rebound with a decisive win.
Multiple outlets report that Caulfield also has a personal moment tied to the milestone, with his grandmother watching from the stands and reacting emotionally to his achievement. The Winnipeg Free Press and Yahoo Sports add that Tim Washe and others contribute offensively, and that Anaheim improves to 3-1-0 while Winnipeg suffers its first regulation loss of the season.
Across coverage, the emphasis varies slightly between the on-ice bounce-back and the first-goal milestone. However, all accounts describe the same central result: Anaheim controls the game, Caulfield produces in his early NHL stretch, and the Jets’ start includes their first regulation defeat.
