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.
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.
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 Boston Bruins will play the Winnipeg Jets on Jan. 30. The Original Six club's goal will be to turn things back around after a brutal 7-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in their last contest. The Bruins will be making some interesting changes to their lineup for this matchup against Winnipeg.
Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo will both be back on the Bruins blue line leaving Hampus Lindholm as the only defenseman missing. Mark Kastelic remains out of the lineup, but there was good news on him as well as he was back at morning skate on Thursday.
Korpisalo stopped 21 of 26 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Jets, with Winnipeg's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Mark Scheifele capped a two-goal effort with the eventual game-winner and Wakefield, R.I., native Parker Ford scored in his NHL debut as the visiting Winnipeg Jets beat the Boston Bruins 6-2 on Thursday night.
The Boston Bruins returned home from their road tilt with the Buffalo Sabres to take on the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets won the first meeting in a beatdown.
Since that shot across the bow, the Bruins have done little to inspire confidence that a late-season surge into the postseason is in the cards.
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.
Marc-Andre Fleury, playing his final game in his home province, recorded his 76th career shutout as the visiting Minnesota Wild beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 on Thursday. Fleury made 19 saves while tying Ed Belfour and Tony Esposito for the 10th-most shutouts in NHL history.
