Ehlers plays role of hero as Jets defeat Blue Jackets 4-3 in OT to spoil Laine's return

Ken Wiebe and Sean Reynolds of Sportsnet dig into the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 overtime victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. The return of Patrik Laine was the feature attraction as the former Jets winger returned to play his first game against the team that chose him second overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, but it was Nikolaj Ehlers who played the role of hero by scoring 21 seconds into the fourth period. With the win, the Jets improved to 31-25-10 and pulled within three points of the Dallas Stars, who hold three games in hand.
