Josh Morrissey was the overtime hero Thursday night as the Winnipeg Jets rallied to beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 in overtime.

Winnipeg raced out to an early 3-1 advantage, then watched it slip away as Edmonton took advantage of some sloppy play and scored three straight goals in the second period to take a 4-3 lead into the final frame.
