How the comeback unfolded
Chicago owned the first period. Bertuzzi opened the scoring at 1:48, Frondell doubled the lead at 9:07, and Bedard scored on the power play at 19:56 to make it 3-0 after one. Nazar added a power play goal at 14:44 of the second, and the Blackhawks led 4-0. Stuart Skinner was pulled after the first period, and Nico Daws took over in the Winnipeg net.
Then Scheifele changed the night. His goal at 16:05 of the second, set up by Morrissey and Connor, was career point 930 and moved him past Hawerchuk into first place alone in franchise history. Before the period ended, Connor scored at 18:01 off a Scheifele feed, and a four goal Chicago lead was suddenly two.
Perfetti scored on the power play at 0:55 of the third to make it 4-3, and with the goalie pulled Vilardi jammed home the tying goal at 18:47, set up by Scheifele and Pionk, with 73 seconds left in regulation. Overtime solved nothing, so the shootout decided it: Scheifele and Connor scored, Vilardi missed, Bedard missed, Kane scored, Kantserov missed, and Winnipeg had its sixth straight win.
Scheifele now stands alone
Scheifele came into Saturday tied with Hawerchuk at 929 points. The goal made it 930, and three assists later he left the United Center at 932. He did it on a four point night, with 25:17 of ice time and first star honours, in the same game his team pulled off its second four goal comeback win in 11 days. Winnipeg also erased a 4-0 deficit to beat Montreal 5-4 in overtime on November 3.
What it means for Winnipeg
The Jets are 10-8-3 and winners of six in a row, and the identity of this team is now clear: no lead against Winnipeg is safe. Chicago, now 5-13-2, led by four goals at home and still lost. For a Jets team that opened the season on a nine game winless run, the turnaround is now the story of November in Winnipeg.
