Edmonton Oilers vs Winnipeg Jets Box Score on Dec 13, 2018

Josh Morrissey scored 41 seconds into overtime, and Mark Scheifele collected one goal and two assists as the host Winnipeg Jets erased a third-period deficit to beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 in an exciting back-and-forth affair Thursday night.

Goalie Connor Hellebuyck made 22 saves in the victory, as Winnipeg extended its winning streak to three games and is on a 7-1-0 run.

After blowing a 3-1 lead and trailing 4-3 going into the third period, the Jets dominated the rest of the game, holding a 17-2 edge in shots in the third period. Scheifele evened the score just before the midway point of the period by burying a quick feed from Blake Wheeler.

Wheeler, Bryan Little, Dustin Byfuglien and Morrissey all had two-point games for Winnipeg. Scheifele has eight points in a three-game point spree.

Edmonton's Ryan Spooner started off the roller coaster of a game with a one-timer from the slot at 10:12 of the first period, only to see the Jets take a 3-1 lead.

Mathieu Perreault evened the count at 15:43 of the opening frame with a nifty backhander as he drove the net, and Nikolaj Ehlers scored 68 seconds later. Patrik Laine's 22nd goal of the season at 1:42 of the second period -- a hard wrister that beat Cam Talbot's glove hand -- had the home crowd rocking.

But that's when the Oilers responded with three consecutive goals.

Darnell Nurse made it a one-goal game by tucking home a rebound at 6:04 to kick off a one-sided second period, before Jujhar Khaira notched his second of the season by redirecting a crossing pass at the 17:18 mark. Alex Chiasson's power-play goal with 1:05 remaining in the period was his 13th goal of the season, which ties a career high.

Talbot stopped 35 shots for the Oilers, who saw their four-game winning streak snapped. Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid each collected two assists. McDavid, who has 10 points in five games, surpassed the 300-point mark in his career.
