(Edmonton) Kyle Connor scored on a power play during overtime to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild.
The Jets thus bring their record to 3-0-0 at the start of the season, a first in the history of the organization.
It was a second straight overtime victory for the Jets, who defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 on Friday.
Wild defenseman Zach Bogosian, who has long worn the colors of the Jets, was punished with six seconds remaining in the third period for holding Mark Scheifele’s stick.
Scheifele scored his fourth goal of the campaign and added an assist to his 800e game in the National Hockey League.
Jake Middleton scored the Wild’s lone goal with a wrist shot from the blue line that found its way into Connor Hellebuyck’s net in the first period.
Scheifele tied the game with less than two seconds left in the first period. He now has six points, including four goals, in three games.
Hellebuyck stopped 26 pucks while his opposite number Filip Gustavsson blocked 33 shots for the Wild (1-0-2).

Jeff Skinner scored the only goal for the Oilers, who also struggled early last year with a 2-9-1 start.
