Morgan Barron and Mark Scheifele broke open a tie game with goals 49 seconds apart late in the third period, and the Winnipeg Jets scored five unanswered en route to a 5–2 victory over the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Sunday, Dec. 4.

Taking a pass in the slot from Adam Lowry (two assists), Barron broke a 2–2 tie via his second goal of the season with 5:37 remaining in regulation. Less than a minute later, Scheifele drove the puck over the shoulder of Anaheim netminder Anthony Stolarz (35 saves) on his 13th of the season for the Jets.
