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.

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.

With the Bruins trailing by a goal early in the third period, they had an offensive zone faceoff in the Jets end despite being short-handed. Pavel Zacha won the draw cleanly to Elias Lindholm who snapped it by Hellebuyck to tie the game, 11 seconds into the third.
