Draisaitl, Oilers top Jets in final second

-

Leon Draisaitl scored with less than a second left to give the Edmonton Oilers a 4-3 victory over the host Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Kyle Turris and Kailer Yamamoto also scored for Edmonton. Mikko Koskinen made 35 saves.

Adam Lowry, Nikolaj Ehlers and Blake Wheeler scored for the Jets, who had won three straight, all against Ottawa. Laurent Brossoit stopped 34 shots.

Winnipeg trailed 2-1 after two periods. However, the Jets scored twice 1:13 apart late in the third to take the lead.

Ehlers tied it with 6:04 left with his fourth goal in four games.

Wheeler gave the Jets the lead with a power-play goal, thanks to a tripping infraction by Edmonton defenseman Darnell

Nurse. Wheeler took a pass along the goal line and banked the puck off Oilers defenseman Kris Russell and past Koskinen.

Yamamato tied it again with 3:05 remaining, setting the stage for Draisaitl.
