Scheifele Cashes In on the Power Play With Seconds Left
The Jets beat Tampa Bay 4-3 at home, with Scheifele's power-play goal coming at the very end of regulation.
Mark Scheifele finished with a goal and an assist for the Jets in a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay, and both points came on the power play. The goal came at 19:58 of the third period, with two seconds left in regulation.
He played 21:55 over 23 shifts, fourth among Winnipeg's 18 skaters and second among the team's 12 forwards. At even strength he had no points, with one shot on goal and three shot attempts. On the power play he had one shot, one goal and one assist.
He also had one takeaway, one blocked shot and two giveaways, and he was minus one on the night. He took no penalties.
