Carney is expected to talk about security and economic and trade ties while in Europe, where he will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Carney will also meet with King Charles while in the U.K.

Cole Perfetti had a goal and an assist, while Kyle Connor also found the back of the net for Winnipeg.

Jets goaltender Eric Comrie was forced to leave the game in the first period after Seattle’s Matty Beniers crashed into the net. Connor Hellebuyck replaced Comrie while he underwent concussion protocol, but Comrie returned before the end of the opening frame.
