Winnipeg Jets Edge Minnesota Wild in Overtime

Kyle Connor scored a power-play goal just 51 seconds into overtime, securing a 2-1 victory for the Winnipeg Jets against the Minnesota Wild, marking their third consecutive win to start the NHL season—a franchise first. Mark Scheifele contributed significantly with a goal and an assist in his 800th NHL game, extending his point streak to three games. The Jets capitalized on a late penalty against Wild defenseman Zach Bogosian, allowing them to enter overtime with a man advantage. Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves for Winnipeg, which has only allowed two goals over their first three games. Minnesota's Jake Middleton scored the opening goal, but the team faced challenges with injuries to key players Joel Eriksson Ek and Jared Spurgeon. The Jets have also shown marked improvement in their special teams, successfully killing all five penalties faced this season.
