Jets rally to beat Senators 3-2 for 4th win in 5 games

<p>OTTAWA, Ontario &mdash; Mathieu Perreault and Trevor Lewis scored third-period goals and the Winnipeg Jets rallied for a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>Mark Scheifele also scored for Winnipeg (26-14-3), which earned its fourth win in five games and avenged a 4-2 loss to Ottawa on Monday night.</p>
<p>Laurent Brossoit was in goal for Winnipeg after Connor Hellebuyck had made seven straight starts. Brossoit finished with 27 saves.</p>
<p>The Jets moved to within five points of North Division-leading Toronto (28-11-4), which was idle.</p>
<p>Josh Norris and Nick Paul scored for Ottawa (14-26-4), which fell to 9-10-4 at home this season. Matt Murray finished with 32 saves.</p>
<p>After a scoreless second period, Perreault put Winnipeg ahead 2-1 at 2:07 of the third. Perreault fired a high shot past Murray on a power play for his ninth goal of the season.</p>
<p>Lewis scored short-handed at 9:39 to put Winnipeg ahead 3-1. It was Lewis’ third of the year.</p>
<p>Norris scored a power-play goal with 10 seconds left to pull Ottawa to within 3-2. Norris has 12 goals this season.</p>

<p>Ottawa went 5-6-3 without Murray, using four goalies — Joey Daccord, Filip Gustavsson, Anton Forsberg and Marcus Hogberg — in his absence.</p>
<p>Ottawa’s Connor Brown had his club-record goal-scoring streak halted at eight games. He was looking to become the first player since Teemu Selanne in 1997-98 to score in nine straight.</p>
<p>Ottawa opened the scoring with Paul’s fourth goal of the season just 1:19 in. But Scheifele countered at 3:24, converting Nikolaj Ehlers’ backhand pass for his 16th of the year as Winnipeg outshot the Senators 11-9.</p>
