Jets 3, Oilers 2 (OT): Mathieu Perrault scored 17 seconds into overtime as host Winnipeg extended Edmonton's winless streak to 11 games.
Perreault, who also had an assist, deflected defenseman Jacob Trouba's point shot past Ben Scrivens to complete a furious rally during which the Jets drew even with 3:06 remaining in regulation. Trouba finished with a goal and two assists, Dustin Byfuglien scored and set up a tally and Ondrej Pavelec made 22 saves for Winnipeg, which extended its point streak to four games (3-0-1).
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Teddy Purcell scored for Edmonton, which fell to 0-7-4 during its skid. Scrivens stopped 23 shots in defeat.
Trouba opened the scoring at 12:33 of the first, gathering a drop pass from Perreault on a 3-on-1 rush and firing a shot past a baffled Scrivens from in close. Nugent-Hopkins evened things with just over two minutes remaining in the period, snapping a low shot from above the left faceoff circle past Pavelec on the short side.
Purcell gave the Oilers their first lead at 1:31 of the third, deflecting David Perron's shot past Pavelec. But the Jets put a damper on Edmonton's celebration late in the session as Byfuglien redirected blue-liner Mark Stuart's point shot by Scrivens.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Oilers shook up their lines in an attempt to break out of their funk, demoting Jordan Eberle from the top line in favor of fellow C Tyler Pitlick. Eberle was minus-1 with three shots in 15:35 of ice time, while Pitlick was plus-1 with a team-high six hits in 18:07. ... Edmonton has outshot its opponents seven times during the losing streak. ... Trouba has recorded six points in his last four games.
