- Read below for how Winnipeg grabbed its third straight win
Mark Scheifele saved the Jets from a collapse.
Scheifele scored on a 5-on-3 power play with 1.6 seconds left Sunday, and Winnipeg beat the Lightning 4-3 at Canada Life Centre after blowing a three-goal lead in the third period.
Cole Perfetti stole the puck from Ryan McDonagh in the corner and sent a cross-ice pass to Scheifele, who ripped a one-timer from the left hash marks. Watch the winner:
The Jets looked comfortable for most of the night. Perfetti scored on the power play in the second period, and Morgan Barron made it 2-0 with a one-timer from the right circle.
Brayden Yager pushed it to 3-0 at 8:10 of the third with his first NHL goal, banging in a pass from Viggo Bjorck on the power play.
Then Tampa Bay came alive. Brandon Hagel cut it to 3-1 after Anthony Cirelli stole the puck from Yager below the goal line, and Pontus Holmberg did the rest. He buried a rebound at the left post at 14:01, then did the same thing 26 seconds later to tie it. Check out the pair:
Stuart Skinner made 17 saves for Winnipeg, and Bjorck finished with two assists. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 21 shots for the Lightning.
The Jets are 7-8-3 and have won three in a row after dropping nine straight (0-7-2), a skid that included the night Skinner was pulled and Daws made his debut.
Tampa Bay is 11-4-2 and lost in regulation for the first time in seven games. The Lightning were playing the second half of a back-to-back after a 4-3 overtime win in Minnesota on Saturday.
Winnipeg is back home Tuesday against the Devils, which means a reunion with Connor Hellebuyck.
