OTTAWA -- Nikolaj Ehlers had a goal and two assists Sunday night in the Winnipeg Jets' 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.
With nine games remaining the Jets' (34-28-11) playoff hopes are slim to none, but they're keeping things intriguing.
Pierre-Luc Dubois, Paul Stastny and Kyle Connor also scored for Winnipeg. Connor Hellebuyck made 31 saves.
Brady Tkachuk had a pair of goals for the Senators (26-40-6), who were coming off a 5-1 loss to the Rangers. Josh Norris also scored, while Mads Sogaard, making his second NHL start, stopped 21 shots.
Tim Stutzle returned the Senators lineup after missing the last two games, while Drake Batherson missed his third straight due to a non-COVID illness.
Trailing 3-1 to start the third Takchuk scored a power-play goal in the opening minute, but Connor regained the two-goal lead with a Jets power-play goal of their own.
Tkachuk made things interesting scoring his second power-play goal of the game with six minutes remaining. Tkachuk whacked the puck out of midair, but following a lengthy review the goal stood.
