With Swayman pulled for the extra attacker, Elias Lindholm tied it 3-3 with 1:38 remaining in the third period. He tipped in Pastrnak’s shot from outside the right circle to force overtime.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpotter drew a nice play,\u201d Sturm said. \u201cWe had to execute it very well. I mean, once in a while it actually works, we forget about the other ones. But that was just a play we always try to work on, even 5-on-4. That was a big, big goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
DeMelo made it 1-0 for the Jets at 4:52 of the first period, scoring with a one-timer from the point that beat a screened Swayman high on his stick side.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first game of the year, I thought it went real, real good,\u201d Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said. \u201cWe were good in a lot of areas. It wasn\u2019t a complete 60 (-minute effort), but there was a lot of really good things. I loved our start. (Boston) kind of turned it with some transition there, and probably the last five of the first. But I thought each period we came out hard. They’re a good team. They transitioned fast, like we had talked about prior (and) they attacked the inside. I thought we did the same thing. We went after them. We had some opportunities as well. Tough way to lose it, but for our first game, there was a lot of good stuff. Obviously, there’s some teaching in there, but there was really a lot of good stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hampus Lindholm tied it 1-1 at 9:23 when his one-timer from the blue line went under Skinner\u2019s glove.<\/p>\n
\u201cI try to shoot more, try to jump in more,\u201d Lindholm said. \u201cI feel a bit fresher too, obviously no knee surgery this summer. So it’s nice. I just feel like myself, just try to play my game and it’s fun to see one go in.\u201d<\/p>\n
