WINNIPEG -It's one thing to earn a comeback win, it's another to get a victory in that fashion against a team among the league's best in terms of how few goals they give up.
But the Winnipeg Jets did just that Tuesday night, erasing a 2-0 first period deficit to the Arizona Coyotes, turning it into a critical 4-2 victory over one of the teams they're battling with for a playoff spot.
Nikolaj Ehlers had a goal and three points in the win, with Winnipeg native Cody Eakin putting the Jets ahead for good with 8:27 to go in the third period.
"At this point, you're trying to get as close to playoff style hockey as possible. That's keeping it simple," said Ehlers. "I'm trying to use my speed as much as I can in the right places and the right situations. It's been working. It's something I have to continue."
