TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Mark Scheifele scored twice, Connor Hellebuyck stopped 15 shots and the Winnipeg Jets took the outright National Hockey League points lead, beating the Arizona Coyotes 6-2 on Sunday night to extended their points streak to 12 games.
Winnipeg shut down the Coyotes most of the night en route to their sixth victory in a row, holding the hosts to four shots until Nick Schmaltz scored midway through the second period.
Vladislav Namestnikov, Cole Perfetti, Adam Lowry and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored for Winnipeg. The Jets’ points streak (10-0-2) is their longest since joining the NHL as the Atlanta Thrashers in 1999-2000.
