Mark Scheifele gets his stick and scores after Zdeno Chara throws him into the mesosphere

The starting point of a stick is simply to get him out of the ice, where he is in a prime position to deflect the shot. That's all Zdeno Chara was trying to do to Mark Scheifele in the Jets' power play – he put it in the net was a happy accident. That Chara was not whistled for interference was happier for Boston … for about 40 seconds.

"Who knows how it was not called," says Scheifele. "But I think the hockey gods were on our side and that's what's happening."

"That" being Scheifele pursuing his stick after he fell back to the ground and scoring on a run abroad when the game fell in the bottom of the Bruins.

Scheifele added two assists in the 4-3 win, while Blake Wheeler scored a goal and a pass and Patrik Laine added a pair of aids. Winnipeg's ranking remains one of the best in the league, and the result has been particularly encouraging for Laine, who is stuck in a slump of goals but still contributes.

"Yeah, I'm not that a shooter, I suppose, I'm also a pretty decent smuggler, as we've seen in this game," said Laine, who was tempted to shoot before giving it a shot in Scheifele on the second goal.

"I thought I was going to shoot too. Yes, if I do not know what I'm doing, I do not think the guard will know what I'm doing. I thought at first that I was going to shoot, I was close enough. But then, I saw Scheif through the back door, so you might as well pass it sometimes, "he said.

Scheifele remains the driving force behind this line and this team. His 33rd goal at the top of the team also represents a new career highlight for the centerman, who has benefited from a particularly disinterested season of right winger Blake Wheeler. The 66 assists of Wheeler are on two points. "It's never" a guy who passes, another who shoots, "said Scheifele about Wheeler. "We all do the work, we all do what needs to be done. "When you're the guy to score, you're the guy to score. When you are the type to succeed, you are the type to succeed. "

The Jets, one year away from the disappointment of losing a game before the conference final, are one point ahead of the Predators with two games to come.
