Rookie Jacob Trouba tied the game 4-4 earlier in the third period with his first NHL goal.
Mark Scheivele and Bryan Little also scored for the Jets. Ondrej Pavelec stopped 34 of 38 shots in the game. He allowed four goals on 24 shots in the first two periods but shut the Oilers out in the third period.
