The Winnipeg Jets staged an impressive comeback against the Carolina Hurricanes, scoring five unanswered goals in the third period to win 5-3. Mark Scheifele played a key role, tying the game with a power play goal. Nino Niederreiter sealed the victory with an empty-net goal. Kyle Connor and Vladislav Namestnikov also contributed to the Jets' success.
From @SabresPR: Last regulation loss when leading after two was April 7, 2022 at Carolina. Up 3-2 after 40 minutes and lost 5-3. Since then, #Sabres were 51-0-5 when leading after two until falling to #NHLJets tonight. https://t.co/RT7AyEQkt9
Nine goals in the third period last two days for #NHLJets. Won Saturday at Carolina, 5-3, by scoring all five. #Sabres
#NHLJets outscore opposition 9-0 in the third period over the past two games as they improve to 39-16-5 on the season with a 5] win and take four of six points on road trip. Jets face @SeattleKraken on Tuesday. Another solid performance from Laurent Brossoit.
Monahan. 5-2. #NHLJets have scored nine goals in the third period this weekend.
Sean Monahan empty netter makes it 5-2 #NHLJets after some solid work along the boards by Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton. 53.6 seconds to go.
Comeback Kings. Quite the weekend for the #NHLJets, who will take two of the three games on their road trip. Three third-period goals tonight, following up their five from yesterday afternoon.
With Luukkonen pulled for the extra skater, Dahlin gets swarmed in the Sabres end of the ice and Namestnikov takes it away and slides the puck into the empty cage -- 4-2 Winnipeg they're going to take this one
Dahlin coughs it up and Namestnikov with the empty netter, 4-2 Winn.
Vladislav Nemestnikov scores an empty-net goal at 18:39, Jets up 4-2. That'll do it.
Vladislav Namestnikov scores into the empty net with 1:21 to go. 4-2 #NHLJets Kyle Connor forced Rasmus Dahlin to turn it over.
Dahlin stripped. Namestnikov empty netter with 1:21 left...#Sabres trail 4-2.
Luukkonen on the other end stops Kyle Connor on a 2-on-1 with Namestnikov with a superb save
Kyle Connor stopped on a 2-on-1 with Vladislav Namestnikov. For all of the Ehlers grief (which is warranted, despite Namestnikov's qualiy) Namestnikov has been quality.
A quick give and go between Mark Scheifele and Josh Morrissey results in Morrissey's shot leaking through Luukkonen and into the net to tie it 2-2
Josh Morrissey with a shot that trickles through UPL and the #NHLJets have tied the game with 9:22 to go. Mark Scheifele and Vladislav Namestnikov with the assists. Great effort by Morrissey as he was being hooked by Henri Jokiharju on the play but he fought through it. 2-2.
Morrissey gets behind Jokiharju and leaks one through UPL .... #Sabres and #NHLJets tied at 2-2 with 9:22 left.
Josh Morrissey from Mark Scheifele and Vladislav Namestnikov. That's pure effort from Morrissey, great pass from Scheifele, and it's 2-2 in the third.
Jets tie it. Morrissey drives to the net and his shot squeaks through Luukkonen.
#NHLJets D Josh Morrissey just rung a shot off the mask of UPL with 2:44 to go in regulation.
After 20: Sabres lead the Jets 2-1. Shots on goal are 21-12 for Winnipeg. A bit of a skirmish to end the period but they all head off.
Nikolaj Ehlers bumped down to line two for Vladislav Namestnikov, whose chemistry with Sean Monahan looked real. Inexplicably to me. Ehlers has been great with the top line and the top line has been great with him. And the Jets need a goal.
The buzzer sounds and the #NHLJets will be trailing the #Sabres 2-1 as they prepare for the third period. SOG 21-12 for Winnipeg.
After 20: Sabres and Jets tied 1-1. Shots on goal are 13-6 for Winnipeg.
That's a bummer. UPL gloved a rebound out and it eventually ends up in the net on a Niederreiter tip with 5.5 seconds left. And #NHLJets get a 1-1 tie with #Sabres after 20 minutes. Shots were 13-6 for Peg.
The #NHLJets respond after allowing a power play goal in a 1-1 tie with #Sabres after one period of play. SOG 13-6 for Winnipeg.
Nino Niederreiter with his third goal this weekend by redirecting Josh Morrissey's clever pass, tying the game 1-1 with time ticking down in the first.
Another brilliant play by Josh Morrissey to find Nino Niederreiter and he's up to 17 goals. 5.5 seconds to go in the first period. #NHLJets 1 #Sabres 1
#Isles Anders Lee beat out an icing last night up 5-1 in the third period. More coming on this after chatting about it with Kyle Palmieri and Brock Nelson @TheHockeyNews @IslesMSGN https://t.co/fsxo5UQ3VD
Good morning peeps. #Isles won't practice today after beating #NHLBruins 5-1 for their third straight win. They've now won 3+ games in a row for the third time this season. Battle #stlblues Tuesday night at 7:30 PM. We are five days away from the NHL Trade Deadline.
Let’s chat after #Isles 5-1 win over #NHLBruins: https://t.co/JOxRENiP6N
Backed by a Kyle Palmieri hat trick, #Isles take down the #NHLBruins 5-1 for their third win in a row as they continue to stay alive in the playoff race @TheHockeyNews @jrad0nis https://t.co/ITrxkifRrS
#NHLBruins get on the board off the rush with 5:30 to play in the second. McLaughlin at the blocker-side post. #Isles up 5-1.
Brock Nelson gets in on the fun. After Linus Ullmark stones him with the pad off a backdoor feed from Bo Horvat, he scores on the rebound as it's 5-0 #Isles with 9:36 to play in the second.
#Isles Pageau line can't be stopped. Off the rush, Palmieri feeds Pageau, who makes a smart play to hit Lee, the high guy. Lee's shot was stopped by Ullmark, but Lee stayed with the play and tapped home the rebound. 4-0 with 19:12 to play in the second.
#Isles Pageau line is responsible for 2 goals at 5-on-5, outshooting #NHLBruins 5-0.
After a strong start, we are back for the second with #Isles up 3-0 over #NHLBruins.

#Isles chat coming up at 5 PM ahead of game vs. #NHLBruins https://t.co/Wy5fWZbp3C
The @NHLJets scored five times in the final frame en route to their first three-goal, third-period comeback win since Oct. 4, 2019 (5-4 SO W at NJD). #NHLStats: https://t.co/JQXdOFDRFb https://t.co/PeF1NpRlcd
Wow. The #NHLJets are barely going to need a plane to get to Buffalo for game tomorrow night. Wiped out a 3-0 deficit with five third-period goals and won at Carolina 5-3.
Monahan completes the comeback. What a 3rd period for the Jets to come back down 3 in Carolina. Incredible finish. Jets now first in the central again with games in hand. https://t.co/llRAo3cGjI
Per #NHLStats , #NHLJets earns its eighth three-goal, third-period comeback win in franchise history and first since Oct. 4, 2019 (5-4 SO W at NJD).
Alex Iafallo finds Nino Niederreiter and he seals it with an empty-netted with 10.6 seconds to go. 5-3 #NHLJets after five unanswered goals in the third.
Niederreiter. 5-3. Five unanswered. What a comeback by the #NHLJets.
Nino Niederreiter hits the empty net to close this one out. 5-3, Jets, with 10.6 seconds to go.
Kyle Connor became the eighth active player to post seven-plus straight 25-goal seasons and helped the @NHLJets rally from a three-goal deficit to tie the game. #NHLStats: https://t.co/JQXdOFDRFb https://t.co/fHdtnFvf2d
4-3, Jets. Kochetkov came way out to deny a break away but couldn't get the puck past the trailing Monahan and he deposits it into the empty net. This one is gonna sting, unless
Mark Scheifele tucks in the Jets' third straight goal to tie it in the third ✈️ https://t.co/MwpL0raSbc
It can't be understated how good of a game Mark Scheifele is having. His board battle helped lead to the first goal. His deke tied the game.
3-3. Three goals in the first 5:40 of the third period for Winnipeg and now all of a sudden we're tied. The equalizer comes via Mark Scheifele on the power play.
Mark Scheifele. Mark Scheifele. Mark Scheifele ties the game. What a finish after Josh Morrissey's extra effort pass. And Scheifele is having himself a game.
#NHLJets win a battle along the wall, Mark Scheifele gets loose in front and scores on the backhand after Josh Morrissey makes a one-handed pass to him. Power play goal makes it 3-3 at 5:40 of the third period.
3-3. Scheifele ties it on the PP. Crazy. What a job by Josh Morrissey there.
It's a simple swap of Ehlers and Namestnikov. Connor-Sscheifele-Ehlers Namestnikov-Monahan-Iafallo Now the #NHLJets get another power play chance as Michael Bunting is called for high-sticking Sean Monahan. 5:10 into the third period.
3-2. Our old pal Nino Niederreiter pulls Winnipeg within one. 16:58 to go in the third.
Mark Scheifele with a phenomenal battle, Nikolaj Ehlers with a puck recovery, Kyle Connor with a goal. 3-1 Hurricanes and the Jets have enough time on the clock to push and to hope.
The Jets are on the board. Carolina had some trouble in their own end and the visitors make them pay. Kyle Connor's 25th goal of the season. 3-1 with 18:24 remaining in regulation.
Mark Scheifele grinding down low there, winning the puck battle to keep that play alive.
Nikolaj Ehlers has been promoted to the top line and he just set up Kyle Connor and the #NHLJets trim the deficit to 3-1 at 1:36 of the third period.
#NHLJets trail @Canes 3-0 after two periods of play in Raleigh. SOG now 25-20 for Carolina.
Sebastian Aho scores the Hurricanes' third goal of the period on a cross crease pass from Andrei Svechnikov. Connor Hellebuyck with no chance. 3-0 after 40 minutes. Jets are in tough, despite an improved game compared to Dallas the other night.
With 47.8 seconds to go in 2nd period and 25 seconds left in Samberg minor, Andrei Svechnikov finds Sebastian Aho with a perfect seam pass through the feet of Neal Pionk. #NHLJets trail 3-0.
Some nifty work by Vladislav Namestnikov on the zone entry and eventually Brady Skjei is called for slashing Mark Scheifele. #NHLJets back on the power play.
Mark Scheifele is having a very good game.
After #Isles got some solid scoreboard results on Friday, they host the #NHLBruins tonight with puck drop at 7:30 PM @TheHockeyNews @matthewpage24 https://t.co/NDwDCZCgZc
#Isles won't skate this morning. We'll chat with players and Roy though. Host #NHLBruins tonight at 7:30 PM. Roy said Friday that the plan is for Ilya Sorokin to start, which would be his fourth straight.
