EDMONTON — The Winnipeg Jets lost momentum Monday night to the Edmonton Oilers, but Danish speedster Nikolaj Ehlers stole it back.

Just when things were looking bleak, the Jets' young left-winger pumped two goals in 69 seconds late in the second period to spark the visitors to a 5-2 NHL victory.

Ehlers completed the hat-trick with a power-play goal in the third period as the Jets earned their elusive first win of the 2017-18 season, demonstrating moxie and resolve against one of the league's most dangerous squads.
