Scheifele’s late power-play goal lifts Jets over Lightning 4-3
Winnipeg converted 3 of 5 power plays, and Scheifele finished the rally after Tampa Bay tied it late.
Mark Scheifele scored with 1.6 seconds remaining on Sunday to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at Canada Life Centre.
Winnipeg extended its winning streak to three games with the victory, while the Lightning snapped their own three-game win streak as they opened a three-game road trip.
Rookie Brayden Yager scored his first NHL goal on a power play after Pontus Holmberg received a double-minor penalty; Winnipeg's power play converted three of five opportunities.
Two goals from Holmberg 26 seconds apart tied the game 3-3 late in the third period before Scheifele sealed the victory with his game-winner.
The Jets host the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday, while the Lightning visit the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday to continue their road trip.
