Scheifele scores in overtime as the Jets beat the Blackhawks 3-2
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) --- Mark Scheifele scored at 2:06 of overtime to lift
the Winnipeg Jets to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night.
Cole Perfetti forced the extra frame for Winnipeg, tying the game 2-2 with just
38.6 seconds remaining in regulation. Dylan Samberg, who assisted on
Scheifele's winner, also scored in the first period for the Jets, who went to
overtime for the fourth consecutive game.
Teuvo Teravainen and Ryan Greene scored for Chicago. Connor Bedard picked up
two assists.
Connor Hellebuyck made 18 saves for the victory. Spencer Knight stopped 29
shots for the Blackhawks.
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 had Perfetti placed on a line with Adam Lowry and Gabriel Vilardi.
By forcing the extra frame, 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.
Chicago's special teams continue to be a primary driver of the squad's offense.
With Teravainen's first-period goal, the Blackhawks now have a power-play goal
in four consecutive games.
Winnipeg picked up its seventh straight home victory over Chicago and improved
to 4-10 in overtime games this season.
