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.
Brad Marchand and Elias Lindholm had goals for the Bruins, who have lost two in a row. Joonas Korpisalo finished with 21 saves.
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.
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
With the Bruins trailing by a goal early in the third period, they had an offensive zone faceoff in the Jets end despite being short-handed. Pavel Zacha won the draw cleanly to Elias Lindholm who snapped it by Hellebuyck to tie the game, 11 seconds into the third.
Jets star Mark Scheifele scored 35 seconds into the third, starting Winnipeg's period of dominance. The Jets ended the game with four unanswered goals, turning this close contest into another ugly loss for the Bruins.
After tying the game with a shorthanded goal early in the third period, the Boston Bruins immediately unraveled and ultimately lost 6-2 to the Winnipeg Jets. These in-game collapses are a microcosm of their season as a whole.
Mark Scheifele scored his 30th and 31st goals of the season and the Western Conference-leading Winnipeg Jets beat the Boston Bruins 6-2 on Thursday night.
