The Winnipeg Jets earned their first 100-point season in franchise history Friday night with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Ducks.
The Jets had previously come close to hitting the century mark in 2014-15 but came just short, finishing with 99 points.
Chalk it up.

Winnipeg's Kyle Connor scored the game-winning OT goal for the second game in a row, having also done so Tuesday night against the Kings.

Mark Scheifele contributed a goal and two assists on the night, while Blake Wheeler added two helpers and Nikolaj Ehlers notched a goal in the Jets' victory.
Sitting second in the Central Division behind the Predators, the Jets have every reason to be in high spirits. Before even reaching the 100-point milestone, the team welcomed back star forward Patrik Laine, who left the game against Los Angeles with an ankle injury, but returned before missing a full game.
Anaheim settled for a point on the night, but it was enough to jump them from the second Western Conference wild card spot to the first, moving past Colorado with a one-point lead.
