“Finally, we can stop talking about that,” said Jets centre Mark Scheifele, who paced the offensive attack with a pair of goals. All three of these wins came against teams from the Central Division as the Jets improved to 13-4-1 in head-to-head competition. With a two-point game, Scheifele now has 25 goals and 53 points in 51 games this season to remain near the league leaders in the NHL in both categories. Stacking wins at this time of the season is critical to the Jets staying in the playoff race. “We’ve got to put some wins together here and obviously, the third one has been a tough one for us,” said Jets captain Blake Wheeler.
