Jets 4, Coyotes 3 (shootout)
Winnipeg center Bryan Little scored the only goal in the shootout to
lift the Jets to a 4-3 victory over the Arizona Coyotes.
Little fired a shot high over goalie Mike Smith's glove to give the
Jets two points on a night when the result really should not have
been in doubt.
Winnipeg led 3-1 with about 10 minutes left in the final period but
Lauri Korpikoski and Tobias Rieder scored less than three minutes
apart to pull Arizona level at 3-3.
Winnipeg (25-14-8) are tied with the Chicago Blackhawks for fourth
spot in the conference.
