The Winnipeg Jets could not complete the comeback Tuesday night, rallying from a 3-1 deficit in the third, before falling to the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in overtime to drop their fourth straight game.
“It was terrible puck management at their blueline and a couple of really bad changes and it cost us the goal. So that’s self-inflicted. So, it’s just not one moment, it’s too many. But that’s creating your own problems.”The Jets special teams continue to struggle as they went 0-for-5 on the man advantage, while also surrendering a power play goal.But after failing to get a point in their last three outings, it was at least a step in the right direction.
Monahan had the closest call of the period when his shot from the slot hit the crossbar and the post but didn’t go in as the score remained tied at zero after 20 minutes with Winnipeg outshooting the Oilers 13-10. Winnipeg was given a great chance to draw even less than a minute later when Brown was called for a high-sticking double minor, but the Jets did not get a shot on goal during the entirety of the four-minute power play, eliciting some boos from the sold-out crowd.
Edmonton wasted little time cashing in on the opportunity. McDavid carried the puck along the wall into the Jets’ end and sent a perfect pass back-door to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who steered it in to make it 3-1.Winnipeg killed the rest of the penalty and began to push back with an agitated Ehlers throwing his weight around, landing several big hits as the Jets pinned Edmonton in their own end.
