Scheifele’s Last-Second Power-Play Goal Lifts Jets Over Lightning

With 1.6 seconds remaining, Mark Scheifele converted Winnipeg’s five-on-three advantage to seal a 4-3 victory over Tampa Bay on November 8, 2026. Cole Perfetti set him up, and Scheifele sent a quick shot toward goal from the upper slot. The win came after the Jets let a three-goal lead slip away late in the game.

Winnipeg had gone ahead 3-0 when Brayden Yager scored his first NHL goal at 8:10 of the third period. Tampa Bay answered with three goals in a 4:07 span: Brandon Hagel scored with 9:38 left, then Pontus Holmberg scored twice, at 5:59 and 5:33 remaining.

Perfetti, Morgan Barron and Yager also scored for the Jets, who improved to 7-8-3 and have won three straight after losing nine in a row. Stuart Skinner stopped 18 shots. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 21 saves for the Lightning, now 11-4-2, who had won three consecutive games entering the matchup.

Winnipeg converted three of five power plays, while Tampa Bay went scoreless on four opportunities. The Lightning continue their three-game road trip in Buffalo on Wednesday. The Jets are set to host New Jersey on Tuesday.
