MONTREAL -- With some top veterans sitting out, the youngsters took center stage for the playoff-bound Winnipeg Jets.
Sami Niku scored in his first NHL game and Kyle Connor got his 30th goal of the season in overtime and the Jets downed the Montreal Canadiens 5-4 on Tuesday night.
Add to that Patrik Laine's 44th of the season to move only two behind Washington's Alex Ovechkin for the NHL lead.
"Any goal you score in this league is great, but overtime, and the way we stuck with it the whole game, it's awesome," said 21-year-old Connor.
