The Winnipeg Jets faced off against the visiting Ottawa Senators at BellMTS Place on the afternoon of Feb. 13, which was also dubbed Scotia Bank Hockey Day in Canada. But it wasn’t the outcome Winnipeg was hoping for, especially with the Jets out shooting the Senators 31 to 29.
After 60 minutes of play, the Jets lost a heart breaker 2-1.
The Jets took a 1-0 lead early in the second period with a goal by Mark Scheifele at 5:43 but Winnipeg’s lead was short lived as Ottawa tied the game less than two minutes later when Evgenii Dadonov lit the goal lamp at 7:29.
With just seconds remaining in the third frame the Senators scored the game winning goal when Brady Tkachuk beat Winnipeg’s goaltender Connor Hellebuyck at19:51.
The Jets travel to Edmonton next for a national Hockey League tilt against the Oilers on Feb. 15.
