Lemieux scored a pair, including the game winner, as the Winnipeg Jets ended 2018 on an upbeat note by defeating the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 on Monday. Winnipeg Jets' Tyler Myers (57) chases Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid (97) during second period NHL action in Edmonton on Monday, Dec. 31, 2018. The Jets tied the game five minutes into the second frame when a long shot by Jacob Trouba was tipped by Tanev past Oilers goalie Mikko Koskinen. The Oilers pulled even with a power-play goal with two minutes left in the second on a one-timer blast from Draisaitl. The Oilers begin a four-game road trip in Arizona on Wednesday, while the Jets are off until Friday, when they travel to Pittsburgh.
