The injury-plagued Winnipeg Jets gutted out a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at sold-out MTS Centre on Tuesday night.

Winnipeg (33-33-7), which had six regulars out of the lineup, won its three straight and has points in four consecutive NHL contests.

Jets captain Blake Wheeler fired his 22nd goal of the year at 7:02 of the third period to break a 1-1 tie. The big right-winger also chipped in a pair of assists, setting up linemates Mathieu Perreault and Mark Scheifele.
