Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele scored two late goals, the second in overtime, to salvage a 2-1 victory for the Jets over the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Jets’ home-opener was played before 14,564 fans at Canada Life Centre on Friday night — just short of a sellout on the same night the Winnipeg Blue Bombers sold out their CFL game against the Toronto Argonauts.

Scheifele scored 38 seconds into overtime on a setup from Kyle Connor.

Ryan Donato had scored late in the second period to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 1-0 lead.

Connor Hellebuyck made 25 saves for Winnipeg.

Arvid Soderblom stopped 34 shots for Chicago.
