The Winnipeg Jets are one win away from advancing to round two of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Nikolaj Ehlers scored his second goal of the game 9:13 into overtime to lift Winnipeg past Edmonton 5-4 Sunday night at Bell MTS Place.
It was Ehler’s first game back since he suffered an upper body injury on April 24 in a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Mathieu Perreault, Blake Wheeler and Josh Morrissey also scored for the Jets who rallied from a 4-1 third period deficit to force overtime.
