WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Josh Morrissey scored the tying goal in the final minute of regulation and Mark Scheifele got the winner 1:33 into overtime as the Winnipeg Jets rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Monday night for their franchise-record 10th straight win.

Connor Hellebuyck finished with 17 saves for the Jets.

William Eklund scored for San Jose, and Vitek Vanecek had 33 saves.

Morrissey tied it with a slap shot from the top of the circle with 26 seconds left after Hellebuyck was pulled for his eighth of the season.

In the extra period, Scheifele scored on a backhand shot for his 32nd. It was also the 329th of his career to become the Jets’ franchise leader, passing Ilya Kovalchuk’s mark set when the team was the Atlanta Thrashers.

Eklund’s high one-timer on the blocker side during a San Jose 4-on-3 power play beat Hellebuyck with 4:53 left in the first period.

The Sharks had two more power plays in the second period before Winnipeg got its first of the game. The Jets put four shots at Vanecek, but he denied a tying goal.

Winnipeg also came up empty on an early third-period man advantage, putting one shot at Vanecek. Colin Miller later hit the post midway through the frame.

Some fans at the Canada Life Center loudly booed at the start of the American anthem.

Takeaways

Sharks: San Jose went into the game with the league’s 26th-ranked power play (17.6%) but scored with 6 seconds left on a first-period 4-on-3 man advantage. They finished 1 for 3.

Jets: Vanecek turned aside a number of dangerous Winnipeg chances, including three shots during the Jets’ first power play. Hellebuyck twice stonewalled Macklin Celebrini during a second-period power play.

Morrissey sent the game to overtime with his tying goal with 26 seconds left in regulation.
