Jets Take Off In Third, Rally to Beat Bruins

jets_3_19

Most Bruins fans have probably become accustomed to their team taking points out of almost every game that they lead going into the third period, after posting an impressive 32-0-0 record when leading after two in 2011-12. Unfortunately, that streak has not carried over into 2013, and last night in Winnipeg was yet another example. The Jets rallied from a 1-0 third period deficit to score three unanswered goals in the final stanza at MTS Centre, including two goals within 57 seconds to quickly grab the lead. Former Bruin Blake Wheeler had two goals, and Ondrej Pavelec was sharp in goal for the Jets, who reclaimed the Southeast Division lead with the victory. The Bruins meanwhile have now lost two games in a row in regulation for the first time this season, slipping to a mediocre 5-4-1 in their last ten games.
