Mark Scheifele scored with 0.3 seconds remaining on a Winnipeg power play to give the Jets a 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, completing a comeback after Winnipeg had blown a late three-goal lead. The goal was the game-winner and is recorded at 59:58, the second-latest go-ahead goal in franchise history behind Andrew McBain's 59:59 on Dec. 14, 1988. Cole Perfetti set up the play with the pass that led to the finish. The win extended the Jets to three straight victories and moved Scheifele closer to catching Dale Hawerchuk on the franchise all-time assists and points lists. Game data showed Winnipeg outshot Tampa Bay 25 to 20 and expected goals favored the Jets roughly 3.22 to 1.61. Coach and lineup notes from the night included Cole Connor on the top line with Scheifele and Vilardi, and Brayden Yager earning the game's Second Star.
