Ehlers tied it 2-2 at 13:54 of the third period, and Blake Wheeler gave the Jets a 3-2 lead with a power-play goal at 15:07.
"Our special teams, they're not what they need to be right now, but we're getting some bad bounces," Edmonton coach Dave Tippett said. "Our penalty kill, we've had a couple bounce off of people's skates and into the net. It's frustrating … but maybe the luck is turning, the way the game ended."
Copp scored at 13:28 of the first period, but the goal was waved off after Tippett successfully challenged for goaltender interference by Copp.
