Tyler Myers scores in overtime as Winnipeg Jets rally past Washington Capitals 4-3
WINNIPEG — Tyler Myers could sense his Winnipeg Jets teammates struggling to fight after getting down by two goals to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.
Then came the pushback: Bryan Little scored to make it a one-goal game midway through the third period and Mark Scheifele supplied his second of the night with 15 seconds left to send it into overtime.
Myers fired the final shot, with the veteran defenceman taking a backhand pass from Scheifele and putting the puck over Braden Holtby’s glove 2:35 into overtime for the 4-3 victory that had the crowd at Bell MTS Place roaring.
“We had moments where we didn’t have much life on the bench, but we managed to flip that switch, get it back going again and I thought it was a great team win,” said Myers, who scored his sixth goal of the season.
