Winnipeg Jets win fifth game in last six as they defeat the Blackhawks 3-2 in OT to climb within a point of top in Central

It took extra time but the Jets got another win as they defeated the Hawks 3-2 in OT in Chicago. They now find themselves tied with the Avs for 2nd spot and are one back of the Stars but they have three games in hand on both Dallas and Colorado.

Notable:

Rumours of Nikolaj Ehlers demise were greatly exaggerated (which is a joke) but what a night for the Dynamic Dane who was kept off the ice prior to today as he nurses some nagging injury but he declared himself fit at the optional morning skate and then went on to score two highlight reel goals.

The game-winning goal by Kyle Connor in OT was the 47th time he’s scored a GWG which puts him into top spot in Jets 2.0 history (one more than Mark Scheifele).

Multipoint Game:

Josh Morrissey 3A
Nikolaj Ehlers 2G
