<p data-start="152" data-end="617">The Winnipeg Jets&#8217; franchise-record 11-game win streak came to an end with a 2-1 regulation loss to the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday evening. Neal Pionk scored the Jets&#8217; lone goal, his ninth of the season. Winnipeg&#8217;s record dropped to 42-15-3, and the team went 0-for-4 on the power play, extending their streak to 0-for-14 in the last five games. Eric Comrie made 28 saves but suffered his first loss in his last four starts.</p>
<h3 data-start="624" data-end="654"><strong data-start="628" data-end="654">Power Play Running Dry</strong></h3>
<p data-start="656" data-end="1239">The Jets&#8217; power play, which has been a major talking point this season, has struggled since returning from the 4 Nations break. They’ve gone 0-for-14 over the past five games. Despite winning their previous four games without scoring a power play goal (0-for-10), the Jets couldn&#8217;t capitalize against Nashville. With the team trailing 2-1 in the second period, Colton Sissons and Nick Blankenburg took penalties just six seconds apart, giving the Jets a 5-on-3 for 1:54. However, they only generated two shots during the advantage and just four total shots on their four power plays.</p>
<h3 data-start="1246" data-end="1272"><strong data-start="1250" data-end="1272">Comrie Stays Solid</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1274" data-end="1646">One positive takeaway was Eric Comrie&#8217;s solid performance in goal. Despite the loss, he kept the Jets within striking distance, making several key saves, including a huge toe save on Filip Forsberg during a Nashville power play in the third period.</p>
