EDMONTON — The Winnipeg Jets’ power play had been the talk of training camp, but things went south in a hurry Thursday night.
The Jets surrendered a pair of short-handed goals in just 61 seconds in the third period as the Edmonton Oilers posted a 5-2 victory at Rogers Place.
Oilers captain Connor McDavid and Mark Letestu both raced in on breakaways and beat goalie Connor Hellebuyck with Zach Kassian in the penalty box for goaltender interference.
Winnipeg had scored nine goals on 25 power-play chances coming into the game, but was shut out in six opportunities.
