Kyle Connor and Adam Lowry each had a goal and an assist to help the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-4 win against the visiting New York Islanders on Tuesday night.

Mark Scheifele had two assists, and Connor Hellebuyck made 23 saves for the Jets.

Anthony Duclair, Emil Heineman, Kyle MacLean and Matthew Schaefer scored for the Islanders, who had won three of their past four games (3-0-1). Ilya Sorokin made 17 saves.

Connor gave Winnipeg a 1-0 lead at 4:20 of the first period. Sorokin stopped Scheifele’s shot from high in the zone, but the rebound slid to his right and Connor quickly swept it past the goalie’s stick.

Josh Morrissey made it 2-0 at 5:41 of the second period with a wrist shot from above the slot that beat Sorokin over his right arm.

Jonathan Toews connected on the power play 42 seconds later to push it to 3-0, sweeping in a rebound on the doorstep at 6:23.

Duclair got New York on the board at 7:40. Anders Lee dished a backhand feed from the corner to Duclair in the right circle, and he snuck it by Hellebuyck short side.

Heineman then converted on a penalty shot to pull the Islanders within 3-2 at 8:58. Heineman fooled Hellebuyck into thinking he was going on his forehand blocker side but instead pulled to his backhand and lifted it over the netminder’s right pad.

He was awarded the penalty shot after Scheifele got his stick up in his hands on a breakaway.

Casey Cizikas spotted MacLean uncovered high in the slot, and MacLean snapped over Hellebuyck’s right arm to tie it 3-3 at 10:21.

Dylan DeMelo put the Jets back in front at 12:23 of a busy second period. Scheifele won a battle in the corner and sent the puck up to DeMelo, who beat a screened Sorokin stick side.

Lowry deflected Neal Pionk’s shot from the left point to make it 5-3 with 20 seconds remaining in the middle frame.

Schaefer’s wrist shot from the point through traffic narrowed it to 5-4 at 19:14 of the third period.
