Holmberg scored twice and Brandon Hagel added the other goal for Tampa Bay (11-4-2), which snapped its three-game win streak as the Lightning opened a three-game road trip. Defenceman Erik Cernak added two assists.

Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 21 shots for the visitors.

Winnipeg went 3-for-5 on the power play, while Tampa Bay was 0-for-4.

TAKEAWAYS

Lightning: Tampa Bay started strong but looked sluggish for much of the game before exploding for three third-period goals. Cernak put Winnipeg on the two-man advantage late by gloving the puck and throwing it up ice.

Jets: Winnipeg’s sleepy power play erupted for three goals, including the game winner. Bjorck has three points in his last two games after going pointless through the first 16.

KEY MOMENT

Tampa’s Holmberg was given a double-minor penalty in the third period for high-sticking Yager minutes into the third period, leading to Yager scoring his first NHL goal on the ensuing man-advantage to put the Jets up 3-0.

KEY STAT

Winnipeg scored the opening goal for a second consecutive game after allowing the first goal in 13 of its previous 15. It was vital that the Jets took the lead first as Tampa Bay is 8-0-1 when scoring first.

UP NEXT

Lightning: Visit the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday.

Jets: Host the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.
