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.

BOSTON - 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. Vladislav Namestnikov had a goal and assist, and Nikolaj Ehlers, Parker Ford and Kyle Connor also scored for the Jets. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 27 shots.
Hellebuyck has been strong over the past few weeks, going 7-1-0 with a 1.63 GAA and .932 save percentage over his last eight starts, a span that includes a shutout win over Colorado on Jan. 11. His only other start against Boston so far this year was at home Dec. 10, and he turned aside 23 of 24 shots (.958 save percentage) en route to the 8-1 win.
Take a moment and think of the NHL’s best goaltenders. You know, the ones whose teams pencil their guy in for 55 starts every year. Durable. Consistent.
