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.

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.

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.

The B’s erased a two-goal deficit early in the third period, only to give up two goals to the Western Conference-Winnipeg Jets in 42 seconds and three in the first 5:56 of the third. The Jets then cruised to a 6-2 victory over the B’s.

The Boston Bruins fell 6-2 to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night, but everyone who witnessed the game at TD Garden knows that it was the Bruins who beat themselves.

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.

From nearby Rhode Island, Parker Ford netted his first career goal in his NHL debut, while Mark Scheifele scored twice to tie Ilya Kovalchuk for most goals in franchise history.

The Winnipeg Jets scored four unanswered goals in the third period to beat the Boston Bruins and earn their fifth consecutive win.
