Dustin Byfuglien recorded a goal and an assist in his 800th NHL game as the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Arizona Coyotes 4-3 Tuesday night at Bell MTS Place.

Byfuglien, who reached the 20 assist mark for the eighth consecutive season, put 800 games into perspective.

"It's great. I've done some good things around here to stick around and play 800. It's an honor and a pleasure."

Jack Roslovic, Nic Petan and Dmitry Kulikov also scored for the Jets.

Kevin Connauton, Christian Dvorak and Derek Stephan replied for the Coyotes.

Winnipeg netminder Connor Hellebuyck made 21 saves.

The Jets (32-13-9) have three wins and an overtime loss on their 10-game homestand which continues Thursday against the St. Louis Blues.
