Overview

  • Mark Scheifele scored on a 5-on-3 one-timer with 1.6 seconds left on Sunday to give the Winnipeg Jets a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
  • The Jets went 3-for-5 on the power play while Tampa Bay was 0-for-4, making special teams the decisive factor in the final score.
  • Brayden Yager scored his first NHL goal on a power play to make it 3-0 before the Lightning mounted a late three-goal rally capped by two goals from Pontus Holmberg.
  • Stuart Skinner made 18 saves for Winnipeg and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 21 for Tampa Bay, a game in which Tampa Bay played on the second night of a back-to-back and lost Brayden Point to injury.
  • The win follows Winnipeg’s historic comeback that ended a nine-game skid earlier this week and raises short-term momentum questions tied to roster health, including the continued absence of top defenseman Josh Morrissey and the Jets’ ability to sustain special-teams production.
