With the home team down 2-1 and the Jets killing a penalty it had to be the Jets captain who tied the game with his 17th goal of the season (and the Jets 10th shorthanded goal). It was a beautiful pass by Dustin Byfuglien over to Ladd who made no mistake putting it past Niemi.

Not surprisingly the goal got a standing ovation from the home crowd as they watch what is potentially Andrew Ladd’s final home game in a Winnipeg uniform.
