The Winnipeg Jets rallied in the third period, but were unable to hold the lead as they dropped a 3-2 decision to the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night at the Honda Center.
Mark Scheifele gave the Jets a 2-1 lead, but the Ducks tied it on a deflection goal from Frank Vatrano and got the winner from Troy Terry with 26 seconds to go in regulation time.
Terry’s goal came after Vatrano, who finished with two goals and an assist, forced a defensive zone turnover in the corner.
The Jets, who slipped to 23-10-1 for the season, face the Minnesota Wild on Saturday in what will be the final game before the holiday break.
Backup goalie Eric Comrie was the reason the Jets were within striking distance after two periods and finished with 28 saves as he lost a fifth consecutive game despite another strong performance.
Nikolaj Ehlers was back in the Jets’ lineup after missing the previous nine games with a lower-body injury and he finished with an assist.
