WINNIPEG - It was way back on Nov. 1, 2016.
The Winnipeg Jets had just rallied from a third-period deficit to level the score, 2-2, with the Washington Capitals and were seconds away from sending the game to overtime.
It never got that far, though.
Capitals forward Jay Beagle scored the winning goal with under 30 seconds to play after winning an offensive-zone faceoff, driving the net and depositing a loose puck after establishing body position with the very man he beat on the dot moments earlier.
That man - the one taking the barbs and facing the music post-game - was a young Adam Lowry who, in a cruel twist of fate, scored the emotional game-tying goal earlier in the final frame.
It was a moment Head Coach Paul Maurice knew would be painful at the time, but would one day prove to be an invaluable lesson for the raw, then-23-year-old forward.
Lowry's big night personifies Jets' growth
In a span of only 15 seconds, the forward won three straight draws to help protect the one-goal lead late in Game 1
