Bruins turn fortunate bounce into three unanswered goals to defeat Jets 3-2

Ken Wiebe and Sean Reynolds of Sportsnet sort through the particulars of the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins in the battle of two teams that led their respective conferences in points percentage going into the contest. The Jets had an excellent first period and built a 2-0 lead, only to surrender three consecutive goals - the first of which came after a simple dump-in caromed off the stanchion and landed right on the stick of sniper David Pastrnak. A power play goal followed less than three minutes later, setting the stage for a Nick Foligno marker in the third that was the game-winner. Connor Hellebuyck was brilliant after missing his last start due to an illness. The Jets slipped to 21-11-1 and will face the Washington Capitals on Friday in the final game before the Christmas break.
