Mandatory Credit: Bob Dechiara-Imagn images Mark Scheifele covered a two-goal effort with the possible game winner and Wakefield, RI, native Parker Ford made in his NHL debut when the visiting Winnipeg Jets beat Boston Bruins 6-2 on Thursday evening.
Scheifele’s second goal 35 seconds into the third period marked the 328th of his Winnipeg career and binds him with Ilya Kovalchuk for most people in Jets/Atlanta Thrashers -Franchise History.
Nikolaj Ehlers and Vladislav Namestnikov added a goal and an assist, Kyle Connor scored goals and Connor Hellebuyck scored 26 rescues for Winnipeg, which is on a five-match victory.
Jets scored four goals from the third period and found the back of the network on two of four Power gigs in the game (50 percent).
Elias Lindholm led Bruins with a goal and an assist, while Brad Marchand also scored and added 14 penalties.
Joonas Korpisalo stopped 21 shots in Boston’s second loss in a row and third in a five-game (2-3-0).
Bruins climbed out of a 2-0 hole to bind the game when Lindholm buried a brief goal from Pavel Zacha’s Faceoff victory 11 seconds into the third. Winnipeg never struck after Scheifele took an Ehler’s feed down the middle to give an answer just 24 ticks later.
Ehlers was credited to Jet’s insurance targets less than a minute later, and poured the puck outside the Boston defender Mason Lohreis’s stick and onto an open left side of Korpisalo’s net at 1:17.
Ford expanded Winnipeg’s lead to 5-2 at 5:57. After Alex Iafallo sat down a Logan Stanley Centering feed in the track, the former Providence College paid in with a hand template.
Connor scored an empty net destination with 36.6 seconds left.
Namestnikov lifted visitors to a 1-0 lead only 2:55 into the first and put home a Power-play goal from Low on the left. Cole Perfetti’s shot from the wing created a rebound that Nino Niederreiter sent to Namestnikov over the fold to hit an open side of the net.
Minutes after a Josh Morrissey Snipe past Korpisalo was called back because of Offside, Scheifele Winnipeg’s management doubled with a goal that counted and tipped in Neal Pionk’s score at the mark 11:31.
Marchand scored his second goal on the men’s advantage in so many matches to lead Boston within one at 15:34. Bruins captain slid down from the top of the left circle and snapped a shot past Hellebuyck.
