Jets’ top line produces again in 3-2 win over Coyotes
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Winnipeg Jets’ young top line keeps racking up points.
Winnipeg forwards Nikolaj Ehlers and Patrik Laine and centre Mark Scheifele combined for three points — giving the trio 26 in the past four games — as Jets beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Thursday night.
Ehlers scored at 16:46 of the third period with a fluky assist from Laine, as a failed clearance glanced off the rookie’s body to Ehlers. Scheifele logged an assist in the first period and has 10 assists and 19 points in 15 games this season.
Blake Wheeler and Andrew Copp also scored goals, and the Jets won for the third time in four games and have earned at least a point in four of five.
