SEATTLE (AP) — Dylan Samberg scored 1:47 into overtime and the Winnipeg Jets rallied from two goals down to beat the Seattle Kraken 3-2 on Sunday night.
Cole Perfetti had a goal and an assist, and Kyle Connor also scored for Winnipeg and Vladislav Namestnikov had two assists. Eric Comrie had 14 saves for the win.
Comrie left the game after he was run into early in the first period. Connor Hellebuyck came on and played 10:10 while stopping five of the six shots he faced before Comrie returned.
Jani Nyman and Michael Eyssimont scored for Seattle, and Joey Daccord finished with 23 saves.
In the extra period, Perfetti skated wide around the right side and drove toward the net before passing across the crease to Samberg, who beat Daccord on the blocker side.
Nyman scored a power-play goal just short of the midpoint of the first period, and Eyssimont pushed the Kraken's lead to 2-0 with 4:37 remaining in the period.
Perfetti got the Jets on the scoreboard with 17 seconds to go in the first, and Connor tied it 2-2 with his 36th goal of the season with 8:18 remaining in the second.
