Mark Scheifele capped a two-goal effort with the eventual game-winner and Wakefield, R.I., native Parker Ford scored in his NHL debut as the visiting Winnipeg Jets beat the Boston Bruins 6-2 on Thursday night.

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.

First place in the overall NHL standings will be on the line when the Winnipeg Jets roll into Washington, D.C, this weekend. The Jets beat the Bruins in Boston, 6-2, on Thursday, and will carry a five-game win streak into a Saturday tilt with the Capitals.

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 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.

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.

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.

Jets defenceman Neal Pionk got his 33rd point of the season with an assist on the second goal for Winnipeg. That matched his points totals for the last two seasons but he does it in 29 fewer games. He’s on pace for 51 which would be a career high.

They are answering those questions on the fly, as Tuesday evening’s 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens marked the Jets’ fourth straight win, this one kicking off a three-game east coast road trip, and Winnipeg’s top players drove them to victory.
