WINNIPEG \u2014 Mark Scheifele<\/a> scored at 2:06 of overtime to lift the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a> in front of 13,929 at Canada Life Centre on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Cole Perfetti<\/a> forced the extra frame for Winnipeg, tying the game 2-2 with just 38.6 seconds remaining in regulation. Scheifele and Logan Stanley<\/a> picked up the assists on the goal. Samberg, who assisted on the game-winner, also scored in the first period for the Jets, who went to overtime for the fourth consecutive game.<\/p>\n

Teuvo Teravainen<\/a> and Ryan Greene<\/a> scored for Chicago. Connor Bedard<\/a> picked up two assists.<\/p>\n

Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> made 18 saves for the victory. Spencer Knight<\/a> stopped 29 shots for the Blackhawks.<\/p>\n

Searching for an offensive spark down 2-1, the Jets pulled Hellebuyck for the extra attacker and netted the equalizer when Perfetti buried the late chance. The goal validated a second-period line shuffle that saw Perfetti placed on a line with Adam Lowry<\/a> and Gabriel Vilardi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n

Jets: Extra hockey is becoming the norm in Winnipeg. By forcing the extra frame and securing the win, the Jets went to overtime for the fourth consecutive game. It was a crucial late push to grab two points as they kicked off a critical eight-game homestand.<\/p>\n

Blackhawks: Chicago\u2019s special teams continue to be a primary driver of the squad\u2019s offence. With Teravainen\u2019s first-period marker, the Blackhawks have now recorded a power-play goal in four consecutive games.<\/p>\n

KEY MOMENT<\/p>\n

Perfetti\u2019s game-tying goal with 38.6 seconds remaining in the third period. With the goalie pulled and the Jets staring down a regulation loss to open their homestand, Perfetti\u2019s strike completely shifted the energy in the building and set the stage for Scheifele\u2019s overtime heroics.<\/p>\n

KEY STATS<\/p>\n
