On his 29th birthday, Kyle Connor chipped in with two assists. Comrie (6-7-1) stopped 15 of 19 shots in defeat. Winnipeg is 4-6-1 in one-goal games. Dating back to Nov. 21, a one-goal loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, the Jets have lost eight games, three of them in regulation time and one in the shootout.<\/p>\n Esa Lindell, Roope Hintz, Alexander Petrovic and Jason Robertson scored for the Stars.

Nyquist was a healthy scratch for the fourth consecutive game, beginning Dec. 3 in Montreal. Nyquist has zero goals and six assists in 20 games.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know what, (he must) be patient,\u201d was Scott Arniel\u2019s message to Nyquist. \u201cIt really is. Be patient. He knows, he\u2019s an older guy, a veteran guy, and he\u2019s been good with it. His opportunity will come again. He just has to take advantage of it when it does.\u201d<\/p>\n Early woes<\/p>\n The Stars opened the scoring 44 seconds into the game when Lindell ripped a shot passed Comrie from the top of the faceoff circle to the right of the net with Josh Morrissey and Sam Steel fighting for position in front of the net. The goal was Lindell\u2019s fourth of the season. The Stars also scored with their first shot on the net in second period when Hintze netted a power-play goal at 1:16. Dallas also scored with their second shot of the second when Petrovic beat Comrie through a screen at 2:31. The Stars are normally in automatic win mode when they score first, as they improved to 14-2-0 when they grab the advantage. Consequently, the Jets are now 2-11-0 when the opposition scores first. Even though it didn\u2019t cost the club on the scoreboard, the second shot for Dallas in the opening period was a short-handed breakaway for Steel, but Comrie made a right leg save on the deke.<\/p>\n Advertisement 5<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Lean on \u2019er<\/p>\n Scheifele\u2019s 15th goal of the season at 11:04 of the second period entered the net behind DeSMith at 75 miles per hour. His second goal at 18:52 of the middle frame registered at 82.3 mph. According to NHL Edge, the Jets No. 1 centre averages 81.77 mph with his shot.
