After Jake Sanderson tied it with a goal late in the regulation, Brady Tkachuk scored 2:11 into the overtime, as the Ottawa Senators rallied for a 3-2 victory over the host Winnipeg Jets on Monday night.

On a play that started with Sanderson behind his own net, the puck went to teammate Tim Stutzle, whose third assist of the night came via a 2-on-1 that Tkachuk buried for the winner and his second goal in 12 games on a season where he missed 20 games with a thumb injury.

The victory capped a 2-1-0 trip for the Senators, who have won just four times in the last 11 contests.

Ottawa trailed 2-1 late, when it pulled goaltender Linus Ullmark (23 saves), and it paid off. After Stutzle kept the puck in the Winnipeg zone, he got it to Sanderson, who sent a wrist shot through traffic and past the Jets' Connor Hellebuyck (28 saves) with 1:54 left in regulation.

Neal Pionk and Logan Stanley scored for the Jets, who have lost four of the last five. Winnipeg has taken 14 losses in 20 games since winning nine of its first 12 games.

It took more than 1 1/2 periods before the first goal of the night was scored. Following a Winnipeg turnover, Ottawa's Kirtus MacDermid skated with the puck along the near boards, drawing several Jets. He then sent a pass across the slot for a wide-open Nick Cousins to convert with 9:13 remaining in the second period. Hellebuyck got a piece of the puck, but not enough to keep it from bouncing into the net.

Winnipeg, though, leveled the contest with 4:23 remaining in the middle frame. Off Kyle Connor's pass from the circle, Pionk sent a one-timer from the center, just inside the blue line, through traffic, where the puck appeared to deflect and redirect off possibly two Ottawa sticks and sneak past Ullmark.

The Jets went ahead with 1:25 left in the second when Morgan Barron slid the puck for a trailing Stanley to beat Ullmark.
