It's a tough stretch of hockey for any team, let alone one that has been struggling to find its way of late, and things quickly went from bad to worse for the Winnipeg Jets Tuesday night as they blew a late lead and lost 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild at Bell MTS Place.

Up 2-1 with less than 90 seconds to play, the Jets gave up two goals in 26 seconds to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Jason Zucker scored at 18:33 on the power play, which was actually a six-on-four with the goalie pulled. And then Joel Eriksson Ek knocked in a loose puck at 18:59 which went to video review to confirm it crossed the line.
