ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Blake Wheeler scored with 1:53 left in overtime, and the Winnipeg Jets rallied for a 2-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.

Marko Dano scored the tying goal with 3:46 to play for the last-place Jets, who won their second straight with a late rally to stun the Pacific Division leaders. Michael Hutchinson stopped 27 shots in his first victory since March 14.

John Gibson made 24 saves and Corey Perry scored a power-play goal in the first period for the Ducks, who fell into a first-place tie with the Los Angeles Kings atop the Pacific Division. Both teams have 99 points heading into their Freeway Faceoff showdown at Staples Center on Thursday.
