Jets Pull One Out Over Oilers

A late goal by Edmonton's David Perron almost cost the game for the Winnipeg Jets, as he potted one with 2:00 remaining in the third to tie it 2-2, but the Jets were able to pull it out in overtime with Jacob Trouba's second goal of the game and first OT goal of his career at 1:10 of the extra frame to extend their recent winning streak to three games; beating the visiting Edmonton Oilers 3-2.  The Oilers had a 1-0 lead in the third period and were on the power-play before Bryan Little set up Trouba for his first goal of the afternoon and his first short-handed marker of his NHL career.  Mark Scheifele's goal to give the Jets a 2-1 lead was his first on home ice.

Dustin Byfuglien was of the hook as he was a threat to score on multiple occasions.  However, he went pointless for just the second time in the last six games in this, Byfuglien's 500th NHL game.

The Jets now head off on their toughest road trip of the season thus far as they face the Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks; two teams that have a combined two regulation losses all season.  Both of them by the Sharks. Anaheim is undefeated through 60 regulation minutes on home ice.  The Jets then come home for a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, before heading back on the road against the Central division-leading Chicago Blackhawks.
Although short, this will be one tough road trip.
