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

Cole Perfetti forced the extra frame for Winnipeg, tying the game 2-2 with just 38.6 seconds remaining in regulation. Scheifele and Logan Stanley picked up the assists on the goal. <\/p>\n

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

Connor Hellebuyck made 18 saves for the victory. Spencer Knight stopped 29 shots for the visitors.<\/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 and Gabriel Vilardi.<\/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

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

Key moment<\/p>\n

Perfetti’s 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’s strike completely shifted the energy in the building and set the stage for Scheifele’s overtime heroics.<\/p>\n

Key stats<\/p>\n

Winnipeg picked up its seventh straight home victory over Chicago at Canada Life Centre and the Jets improved their overtime record to 4-10. The Jets take a 2-1 edge in the season series, with the fourth and final game to be played in Chicago on March 31.<\/p>\n
