Fresh off beating up the league's weakest link in back-to-back games, the Winnipeg Jets battled back against the big, bad Philadelphia Flyers Thursday night.

Winnipeg spotted the visitors a pair of goals before the game was six minutes old only to dig out of the early hole. Mark Scheifele scored with 49 seconds left in the third period to send it to overtime in a game where it looked like the Jets might come away empty handed.

With no scoring in the three-on-three format, a shootout was needed, and the Jets came out on top in the skills competition, with Bryan Little getting the deciding goal.
