In a defensive battle against the Colorado Avalanche, Connor Hellebuyck shone brightly, notching his 40th career shutout to propel the Winnipeg Jets to a 1-0 victory on home ice Thursday night.

The shutout was a milestone for Hellebuyck and extended his impressive streak to 133:09 minutes of shutout hockey, following his previous start against Tampa Bay.

Gabe Vilardi opened the scoring for Winnipeg just 1:06 into the game. He finished off a quick odd-man rush with a pass from Mark Scheifele, marking his fifth goal in six games.

As we head into Remembrance Day one Winnipeg school is reflecting on its commitment to peace and sharing it with the community.

"We always do this just before Remembrance Day or right around the time we talk about the school's commitment to peace as part of our Mennonite values of the school, said Judson Rempel, director of community relations and marketing at Winnipeg Mennonite School. "This year, we're doing something extra, taking that internal commitment to peace and making it public by installing a peace pole."

Canada’s unemployment rate held steady at 6.5 per cent last month as hiring remained weak across the economy.

Statistics Canada’s labour force survey on Friday said employment rose by a modest 15,000 jobs in October.

Business, building and support services saw the largest gain in employment.

Meanwhile, finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing experienced the largest decline.

Many economists see weakness in the job market continuing in the short term, before the Bank of Canada’s interest rate cuts spark a rebound in economic growth next year.

A fire late Thursday afternoon in River Park South sent one person to hospital with serious injuries. 

The fire broke out just after 4:30 p.m. in a three-storey residential building in the 100 block of Regis Drive. 

Smoke was pouring out of the building when crews arrived at the scene. Firefighters began battling the fire from within the building, declaring it under control 20 minutes later. 

Residents were able to safely self-evacuate before crews arrived. However, one person was transported to hospital in unstable condition.

A veteran Ottawa Citizen journalist who was accused by a former cabinet minister of being a Russian asset said it is the "height of irony" that a parliamentary committee studying disinformation has fallen for it. 

David Pugliese told the House of Commons security committee on Thursday he found it astonishing that none of the MPs challenged the allegations when they were made last month.
