Kyle Connor's Overtime Heroics Propel Winnipeg Jets to Third Straight Victory

Sunday, October 13th, 2024

In a recent match, Kyle Connor's power-play goal during overtime secured a 2-1 win for the Winnipeg Jets against the Minnesota Wild, marking their third win in a row.

Mark Scheifele added a goal and an assist in what was his 800th NHL game, while Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves for the team.

The Wild's Jake Middleton managed to score, with Filip Gustavsson making 33 saves.

A holding penalty by Zach Bogosian late in the regulation allowed Winnipeg to enter overtime with a power-play advantage.

Scheifele extended his scoring streak to three games, accumulating four goals and two assists during this time.

There's been a noticeable improvement in the Jets' special teams this season, as they successfully killed all three penalties they faced in this game.

The Wild entered the game facing challenges, coming off a shootout loss the night before and dealing with injuries to significant players.

A pivotal moment was when the Jets tied the game in the last 1.5 seconds of the first period, leveraging a power play.

Winnipeg has only conceded two goals across their first three games.

Looking ahead, the Wild will play St. Louis on Tuesday, while the Jets are set to host San Jose on Friday.
