Scheifele Sets One Up on the Power Play as Jets Beat Devils
Winnipeg stretches its winning run to four by handing a five-game Devils streak its first loss in a while, 4-2 at home.
Mark Scheifele finished with one assist, and it came on the power play, in a 4-2 Winnipeg win over New Jersey.
He played 21:49 over 21 shifts, fourth among the Jets skaters and second among their forwards. At even strength he had no points and no shots on goal, though he had four shot attempts. On the power play he had no shots on goal and one shot attempt, plus the assist.
He had no shots on goal, one giveaway and finished even in plus-minus. That makes it a fairly typical night for his season: 19 points in 19 games, with 15 assists against four goals, and 21.4 minutes a game. The assist was his seventh power-play point of the year.
The result matters for Winnipeg (7-8-3), who beat a Devils team that arrived on a five-game win streak. The Jets have now won four straight and sit fifth in the wildcard race.
