The Winnipeg Jets lost a wild one at the MTS Centre Tuesday night, dropping a 6-5 decision to Minnesota.

Jason Zucker scored the winning goal with just 2:10 left in the third period after the Jets had erased a three-goal deficit.

Winnipeg started out strong in their first game back after a week-long bye. Patrik Laine ripped his team-leading 31st goal of the year just 62 seconds into the game to give the Jets a 1-0 lead.

But Minnesota took over, scoring three goals before the period was done and adding another early in the middle frame.
