CHICAGO _ The last time the Blackhawks put together a two-game winning streak, the airplane only had recently been invented, dodos were not yet extinct and Joel Quenneville was their coach.
Well, one of those things is true.
The Hawks took the ice against the Jets on Friday night at the United Center with the hopes of winning two in a row for the first time under coach Jeremy Colliton, but Mark Scheifele's unassisted goal 50 seconds into overtime gave the Jets a 4-3 victory.
Hawks defenseman Erik Gustafsson had tied it with 7.5 seconds left in the third, scoring on a one-timer off a pass from Duncan Keith. The Hawks last won consecutive games against the Ducks and Rangers on Oct. 23 and 25.
Mathieu Perreault's goal gave the Jets a 3-2 lead with less than a minute left in the second period after the Hawks came up empty on their first power play of the game. Scheifele hit Perreault with a pass to send him in alone on goalie Corey Crawford, and Perreault buried a wrist shot for his sixth goal of the season.
The Hawks didn't do themselves any favors by taking a pair of penalties early in the third to give the Jets' top-ranked power play a couple of opportunities to put away the game. However, the Hawks were able to kill them.
Friday's meeting was third between the teams in 16 days, and it had a far different feel than the first two. The Jets outplayed the Hawks in both of those games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, scoring six goals in each and winning them both.
"We're familiar with them, for sure," Colliton said before the game. "We've had our good moments against them also. We've shown we can give them some trouble, certainly they're a good team. They make a lot of plays, big bodies and they play hard. It's difficult, but hopefully that'll bring out the best in us."
The Hawks may not have been at their best, but it was their best effort against the Jets in the three games.
After ending their 11-game streak of allowing the game's first goal against the Penguins, the Hawks once again fell behind early. Midway through the first period, Jonathan Toews was called for hooking, and 37 seconds into the power play Scheifele one-timed a pass from Blake Wheeler past Crawford to make it 1-0.
The Hawks have sometimes suffered a letdown after giving up the first goal, but they continued what had been a strong first period. With 10.2 seconds remaining, Toews took a feed from Keith and beat Jets goalie Laurent Brossoit to tie it at 1.
Toews added his second goal with 6:53 left in the second when he one-timed a pass from Brandon Saad for his 16th of the season to take over the team lead in goals from Patrick Kane. Carl Dahlstrom assisted on the goal, giving him a pair of assists in two games since being promoted from Rockford.
But less than three minutes later, the Jets tied it on Patrik Laine's 23rd of the season.
