Jets beat Ducks in OT, set franchise mark for points

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Kyle Connor scored 3:16 into overtime as the Winnipeg Jets edged the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 on Friday to set a single-season franchise record for points.

Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored for the Jets (45-19-10), who won their fourth straight to reach the 100-point plateau for the first time. Winnipeg had 99 points in 2014-15 before being swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Ducks.

The game was the second straight in which Connor scored the overtime winner. The rookie had both goals in Winnipeg’s 2-1 win over Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Scheifele had the second of his two assists in the game on Connor’s shot that beat John Gibson to win it. Blake Wheeler also had two assists as the Jets remained unbeaten on their six-game homestand (4-0-0).

At Dallas, David Pastrnak scored the tiebreaking goal with 12 seconds left for Boston, which tallied three straight third-period goals and got 40 saves from Tuukka Rask.

At Buffalo, N.Y., Antti Niemi stopped 35 shots in his first shutout in 27 months as Montreal halted a seven-game road slide.

At Pittsburgh, Taylor Hall scored on a breakaway 27 seconds into overtime and also had two assists.

At St. Louis, Patrik Berglund scored twice to back Jake Allen, who had 19 saves, as St. Louis won its fourth straight.
