WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Kyle Okposo scored off a quirky rebound 2:20 into overtime to lift the New York Islanders over the Winnipeg Jets.

New York's Frans Nielsen blasted the puck toward the net, but it hit Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers in the face. Okposo got the rebound and shot it in past Michael Hutchinson.

Calvin de Haan, Shane Prince and Anders Lee also scored, and Thomas Greiss stopped 26 shots as the Islanders improved to 5-1 on their season-high seven-game road trip that concludes Sunday against the crosstown-rival New York Rangers.

Mark Scheifele had two goals and Tyler Myers also scored for the Jets, who have lost six straight at home.
