The first goal at Sunday's Heritage Classic came from an unlikely source.

With the Winnipeg Jets attempting to open the scoring on a second period power-play opportunity, it was instead Mark Letestu of the Edmonton Oilers who took advantage of a Dustin Byfuglien turnover and converted on a breakaway with a wrist shot past Connor Hellebuyck.

The goal was Letestu's second of the season, and only the second shorthanded goal scored outdoors in NHL history.
