It probably won’t be much longer before Mark Scheifele stands alone on this list, but that didn’t prevent him from taking time to soak in the moment. The Winnipeg Jets centre scored twice

This Bruins goalie was honest after the club's loss to the Jets. The Boston Bruins fell to the Winnipeg Jets by a 6-2 final score on Jan. 30. What made this loss more frustrating for the Bruins was that it was a close game before the team completely collapsed in the third period.

The Bruins tied the game, oh so briefly, on Elias Lindholm's shorthanded goal 11 seconds into the third period before the Jets responded three times in five-plus minutes.

The B’s erased a two-goal deficit early in the third period, only to give up two goals to the Western Conference-Winnipeg Jets in 42 seconds and three in the first 5:56 of the third. The Jets then cruised to a 6-2 victory over the B’s.

The Jets (35-14-3) enter Thursday night’s matchup as the league’s top team with 73 points (tied with the Washington Capitals), six points clear of Edmonton and Vegas for the top spot in the Western Conference. They have won four straight, including a 4-1 win over Montreal on Tuesday night, which kicked off a three-game Eastern road trip.

BOSTON — It may be cruel to note that Elias Lindholm is now without a five-on-five point in his last 13 games. The first-year Boston Bruin scored a short-handed goal and assisted on a power-play strike in the Bruins’ 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. It was Lindholm’s fifth multi-point game with the Bruins.

While the Jets feature a pair of 30-goal scorers in Scheifele (31) and linemate Kyle Connor (30) and Gabe Vilardi north of 20 (22), the Capitals have the same number of players as the Jets do with 20 goals or more, with Aliaksei Protas (21) and Tom Wilson (20) joining Ovechkin.
