Jets explode for 7 unanswered goals
The CFL season ended Sunday, but a Winnipeg franchise scored a touchdown and added the extra point on Monday night.
The Jets poured in seven straight goals, rallying from a 2-0 deficit to destroy the Minnesota Wild 7-2 at Bell MTS Place.
Winnipeg scored a pair of markers to tie the game late in the first period, added two more in the middle stanza, and piled on three more in the third.
Seven different players scored for the Jets, as Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler, and Kyle Connor all scored a goal and added two assists apiece.
It was the second time the Jets notched seven goals in a game this season, following their 7-1 pummelling of the Pittsburgh Penguins back on Oct. 29.
Winnipeg came into Monday's game ranked ninth in goals per game in the league at 3.13.
