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.
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.
Hellebuyck stopped 24 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens. Hellebuyck was caught flat-footed by Juraj Slafkovsky midway through the first period then shut the door. He kicked off Winnipeg's three-game road trip with his third consecutive win and seventh in the last eight starts.
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.
