Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele scored a power-play goal with 1.6 seconds remaining in the third period to secure a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night in Winnipeg.

The goal capped a dramatic finish as the Jets rallied to defeat the Lightning at Canada Life Centre. Scheifele's winner came after the Jets were awarded a late man-advantage, and he beat goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to spark a celebration among the home crowd.

Earlier in the game, both teams exchanged leads in a physical contest that saw several heavy hits, including a collision between Cole Koepke and Jeff Viel, and a check by Neal Pionk that sent Nikita Kucherov into goaltender Stuart Skinner.

The win improves the Jets' record while the Lightning suffer a narrow road loss.
