WINNIPEG - Trailing the Washington Capitals 3-1 in the third period, and staring a third straight loss on home ice in the face, the Winnipeg Jets (33-15-9) flipped the script.
Bryan Little got the Jets within one with 8:30 left in the third, and with his team shorthanded, Mark Scheifele notched his second of the game with 14.4 seconds to go in regulation, sending Bell MTS Place into a frenzy.
But the Jets weren't done.
In overtime, Scheifele drove wide on Alexander Ovechkin, and threaded a pass to Tyler Myers driving the middle of the ice. Myers made no mistake, beating Braden Holtby for the 4-3 come-from-behind win.
Comeback complete.
