Connor helped the Jets avoid a letdown, as his
shot deflected off a Blackhawks player and past goaltender Petr
Mrazek after a Chicago turnover.
Chicago's Tyler Johnson scored the tying goal with an extra
attacker with 43 seconds to go, converting a spinning,
cross-crease setup from Jason Dickinson to beat Connor
Hellebuyck.
Hellebuyck had 33 saves and Mrazek 28.
Losers of 11 of 12 (1-9-2), the Blackhawks gained a point but
still have an NHL-low 34. Chicago lost three of four meetings
with Winnipeg this season, but just one game was decided by more
than one goal, and two went to overtime.
Ehlers recorded his first multi-goal game since Dec. 13 and his
third of the season. He opened the scoring at 14:47 of the first
period, getting a goal on a shot from a difficult angle, just
before the end line.
Ehlers made it 2-0 at 1:49 of the second. Moving down the ice
under a delayed penalty call, he passed to himself off the
boards and darted toward the middle before sending a slap shot
past Mrazek.
Colin Blackwell put the Blackhawks on the board at 15:58 of the
second when he gathered a stretch pass from Seth Jones and beat
Hellebuyck on a breakaway.
The Jets' Sean Monahan hit the post just before the period
ended, but Chicago brought much of the pressure in the third.
Dickinson had a prime opportunity to tie the score with 15:05
left, but he couldn't capitalize on an open net. His shot
glanced off the far post.
The Jets training staff tended to a dazed Hellebuyck midway
through the second period. Chicago's Taylor Raddysh was called
for an illegal check to the head after working to screen the
goaltender in front of the net.
