Adam Lowry's late tally takes Jets past Sharks

Adam Lowry's tiebreaking goal with 73 seconds left in regulation gave the visiting Winnipeg Jets a 4-3 comeback win over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.

The Sharks held a 3-2 lead until Kyle Connor's power-play equalizer at 11:56 of the third period. Lowry then put Winnipeg ahead for good by tipping in Dylan DeMelo's point shot for his fourth game-winning goal of the season.

Connor had two goals in another huge performance for the Jets' top line. Mark Scheifele added a goal and two assists, and Gabriel Vilardi notched three assists.

Winnipeg is 5-1-1 in its last seven games, including wins in its past three road games.

Connor Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 35 shots to earn his league-leading 20th win of the season.

The hard-luck loss dropped San Jose to 1-5-0 in its past six games.

Macklin Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli each had a goal and an assist for the Sharks. Fabian Zetterlund s cored San Jose's other goal, and Jake Walman contributed two assists.

Alexandar Georgiev stopped 29 of 33 shots.

San Jose controlled the first-period action before Winnipeg finally sparked to life. Vilardi's pass down the ice set up Connor and Scheifele for a two-on-one rush and Connor's first goal of the game at 12:18.

Toffoli answered for the Sharks with his team-leading 13th goal. Just 1:52 into the second period, Celebrini sent a pass from behind the net to an open Toffoli for the conversion.

The teams then exchanged power-play goals before the second intermission. At 7:28, a crisp series of passes perfectly set Scheifele up for his 17th goal. Celebrini responded at the 17:11 mark with a backhander that fooled a screened Hellebuyck.

Zetterlund gave the Sharks their first lead of the game 4:44 into the third period. During a two-on-one rush, Zetterlund held the puck and took the shot himself, beating Hellebuyck with a wrist shot.

Winnipeg's league-best power play unit was 2-for-2 on the goals from Scheifele and Connor. The Jets are 32-for-101 (31.7 percent) with the extra attacker this season.
