WINNIPEG - Mark Scheifele scored the decisive goal in the shootout to lift the Winnipeg Jets to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday afternoon.

Patrik Laine also beat Kings goalie Peter Budaj in the shootout and Dwight King scored against Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck.

The victory handed the Kings (7-8-1) their third straight loss.

The Jets (8-7-2) have picked up points in their last four games (3-0-1).

Winnipeg had a 2-1 lead heading into the third period when Kings defenceman Tom Gilbert scored his first goal of the season to tie it up at 12:58.

Kings forward Jordan Nolan took out a Jets defender in the corner and then skated alone around the back of the net before sending a pass to Gilbert out front, who beat Hellebuyck.
