WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3 in an NHL regular-season game at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg on November 8, as centre Mark Scheifele scored the winner with 1.6 seconds remaining during a 5-on-3 power play to give the Jets a third straight win.
Winnipeg struck first in the second period. Cole Perfetti scored a power-play goal at 1:53 off a pass from Scheifele, and Morgan Barron made it 2-0 at 12:38. Brayden Yager scored his first NHL goal at 8:10 of the third period to push the lead to 3-0.
Tampa Bay rallied. Brandon Hagel cut it to 3-1 at 10:22 of the third, and Pontus Holmberg tied it 3-3 with two goals in 26 seconds, at 14:01 and 14:27. In the final minute the Lightning took back-to-back penalties to give Winnipeg a 5-on-3 advantage. Perfetti stole the puck from Ryan McDonagh and sent a cross-ice pass to Scheifele, who scored the winner.
It was Scheifele's 97th career power-play goal, tying Paul MacLean for the third-most in franchise history. Jets goaltender Stuart Skinner made 17 saves and Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy made 21 saves. Winnipeg went 3-for-5 on the power play, while Tampa Bay finished 0-for-4.
The Jets improved to 7-8-3 and have won three straight after going winless in their previous nine games. The Lightning fell to 11-4-2, ending a three-game winning streak and losing in regulation for the first time in seven games. Winnipeg next hosts the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.
