WINNIPEG - Mark Scheifele had three assists, Josh Morrissey extended his scoring streak to six games, and the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2 on Tuesday.
Adam Lowry and Neal Pionk each scored their first goals of the season, Kyle Connor had a nifty third-period goal to go with an assist, while Logan Stanley capped off the scoring for the Jets (12-7-0) on another third-period tally.
Nino Niederreiter, playing his 200th game for Winnipeg, collected two assists.
Miles Wood of the Blue Jackets beat Eric Comrie on a first-period breakaway, while Zach Werenski got the other goal for the visitors off a third-period snap shot from the slot.
Scheifele (27 points in 19 games) moved to within six points of Nathan MacKinnon’s league-leading 33 points in the win. Tuesday also marked career game No. 898 for Scheifele, who surpassed Blake Wheeler for the most games played in Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise history.
The Jets kept forward Kirill Marchenko off the scoreboard, halting his point streak at 12 games. He finished the game at minus-one, with one shot on goal in 16:34 of ice time.
Elvis Merzlikins allowed five goals on 30 Jets shots, while Comrie (4-1-0) made 20 saves for Winnipeg before the 13,847 fans gathered at Canada Life Centre.
