WINNIPEG - Mark Scheifele laughed as he described how his Winnipeg Jets teammates tried to help him score a hat trick on Tuesday night.Instead, the second-year centre scored a pair of goals and added an assist as the Jets halted the Buffalo Sabres four-game winning streak with a 5-1 victory.I know (Mathieu Perreault), I think every time he had the puck he was looking around, looking for me, so it was pretty funny, Scheifele said. But at the end, the boys wouldnt even let me get off (the ice). Id look over at the bench and theyre like, stay, stay, so it was pretty cool.The goals were Scheifeles fifth and sixth of the season. It was also his second career three-point game. He had a goal and two assists in last weeks 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado.Michael Frolik and Evander Kane each had a goal and an assist for Winnipeg (16-10-6), while Chris Thorburn also scored. Froliks goal was short-handed, while Kane scored on the power play.Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec made 27 saves in his 300th career start as Winnipeg outshot the Sabres 36-28.Buffalo (13-17-2), which got a power-play goal from defenceman Nikita Zadorov, was coming off a 5-4 shootout win at home over the Ottawa Senators on Monday night.Michal Neuvirth stopped 31 shots in net for the Sabres.We just made too many mistakes, Sabres captain Brian Gionta said. We hurt ourselves tonight, whether its odd-man rushes or giveaways that lead to those chances (for the Jets). We hurt ourselves.Clearly, thats what you want to limit. You give teams in this league that many chances, theyre going to make you pay.The win was the first for the Jets in their four-game homestand. They lost 4-1 to Anaheim on Saturday and will host Boston on Friday and Philadelphia on Sunday.The Jets pulled out the victory on the same day head coach Paul Maurice announced at the morning skate that second-year defenceman Jacob Trouba is out until February with an undisclosed upper-body injury.Maurice said it was a pre-existing condition, but wasnt related to the neck injury Trouba suffered last season.While Trouba went off the roster, defenceman Grant Clitsome went back on after missing five games with an upper-body injury and assisted on Scheifeles first goal.Winnipeg is still without defencemen Tobias Enstrom and Zach Bogosian, while forward Dustin Byfuglien has been moved back to the blue-line to help out.Pavelec was impressed with the way the team is responding to those injuries.You have to battle through those injuries and we are able to do it so youre really happy, Pavelec said.Sabres coach Ted Nolan was asked if his club looked tired midway through the game.Maybe not physically, but mentally, Nolan said. We just made a couple of crucial mistakes at bad times.I liked our first period, and then all of a sudden a couple of big mistakes and we had to play catch-up the rest of the game.Buffalo scored the only goal in the first period, but Winnipeg responded with three goals in under five minutes in the second to take a 3-1 lead heading into the third period.The Sabres didnt get their first shot on net until 10:32 into the game before having three power-play opportunities in the period.Buffalo made good on a scoring chance with 44 seconds left in the period. With Winnipeg winger Blake Wheeler in the penalty box for slashing, Zadorovs shot from the bottom of the circle got past Pavelec, who had Sabres winger Chris Stewart in front of him.Scheifeles first goal was scored at 9:31 as Zadorov left the penalty box for delay of game.It was then Scheifeles turn to go to the box for a questionable goaltender-interference penalty, but it didnt prove costly.Buffalo turned over the puck and 11 seconds later Jets defenceman Jim Slater made a pass across the front of the net to Frolik, who also sent a high shot past Neuvirth for his seventh goal of the season.Perreault set up Scheifeles second goal when he made a pass through Buffalo defenceman Tyson Strachans feet and Scheifele scored at 14:17 for a 3-1 lead. The assist extended Perreaults point streak to five games, with one goal and four assists.Winnipeg carried a power play into the third period from Andre Benoits slashing penalty and it led to Kanes fifth goal of the season at 1:11, with Wheeler and Scheifele drawing assists.Thorburn used a rebound from teammate Anthony Pelusos shot to send a backhand shot past Neuvirth at 12:39.Notes: Sabres centre Mikhail Grigorenko made his season debut. The 20-year-old Russian was Buffalos first pick (12th overall) in the 2012 NHL entry draft.Note to readers: This is a corrected version of an earlier story. The Jets will host Boston on Friday and Philadelphia on Sunday. Rickey Jackson Jersey .

The NFL fined Tomlin $100,000 on Wednesday for interfering with Baltimores Jacoby Jones on a kickoff return in the third quarter of a 22-20 loss to the Ravens on Thanksgiving night.Late coach Pat Burns has been elected for induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame class of 2014 alongside Dominik Hasek, Peter Forsberg, Mike Modano and Rob Blake and legendary NHL referee Bill McCreary. The official induction ceremony will be held on November 17. The three-time Jack Adams Award winner for coach of the year passed away in 2010 after a lengthy battle with cancer. He enters the Hall in the Builders category. Burns won 501 games in 14 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens (1988-1992), Toronto Maple Leafs (1992-1996), Boston Bruins (1997-2001) and New Jersey Devils (2002-2004). He won the Stanley Cup with the Devils in 2003. The former Gatineau, Quebec police officer had plenty of proponents for his inclusion in the Hall of Fame, even before he passed away. "Pat Burns should have been in the Hall of Fame this year," former Stanley Cup-winning coach and incumbent Conservative Senator Jacques Demers said in 2010. "Not because he was dying, but because he was a Hall of Fame coach. Five hundred wins, a Stanley Cup, three times coach of the year - to me it would have been so special for him, before he died, to be in the Hall of Fame." It is the second consecutive year a builder has been posthumously elected after Fred Shero, back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, was inducted in 2013. Hasek - a six-time Vezina Trophy winner, Hart Trophy winner and two-time Cup champ - may have been the easiest player selection for this class. The Czech Republic native won the NHLs award for best goaltender a staggering six times in eight seasons as a member of the Buffalo Sabres. He also played for the Detroit Red Wings from 2001-2008, where he won two championships (2002, 2008). "The Dominator" is 11th all-time on the NHL wins list with 389 and had seven straight seasons with a save percentage of .930 or better. "For me its a no-brainer," former coach of the Sabres Lindy Ruff said earlier this year. He brought the Sabres out of obscurity and led the club to a Stanley Cup Final appearance in 1999 against the Dallas Stars. He narrowly missed out on his first championship as a result of Brett Hulls infamous "foot-in-the-crease" overtime goal. Hasek would go on to win his first Cup as a starter with the Red Wings in 2002 and the second came as a backup to the championship team of 2008. Also cracking the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility is two-time Stanley Cup Champion and Olympic gold medalist Peter Forsberg. Forsberg began what would become ann impactful, yet injury-shortened career, with the Quebec Nordiques after being acquired in the blockbuster trade that sent Eric Lindros to the Philadelphia Flyers in 1992.dddddddddddd The Calder, Art Ross and Hart Trophy winner scored 885 points in 708 regular-season games in his 14 seasons with the Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche, Flyers and Nashville Predators. He won two Stanley Cups with the Avalanche. Forsberg also won gold medals in mens ice hockey for Sweden at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer and 2006 Games in Torino. He was plagued by many injuries over the course of his career, but it was tendon problems in his left foot that haunted him for most of his playing days and eventually forced him to retire. Another new candidate making the grade in 2014 is the most prolific American scorer in NHL history, Mike Modano. The former captain and last active player to have played for the Minnesota North Stars is the highest scoring American in league history with 561 goals, 813 assists and 1374 points in 1499 games. Modano, who appeared in eight All-Star Games, holds Stars franchise records for regular-season and playoff games played (1459, 174), goals (557, 58), assists (802, 87) and points (1359, 145), and also led the club to the Stanley Cup in 1999 over Hasek and the Sabres. The last player on the list had to wait an extra year, but in only his second year of eligibility for Los Angeles Kings captain Rob Blake is entering the Hall of Fame. While many thought Blake was a lock for last years ballot, it turned out there were too many deserving candidates and not enough spots to include the 6-foot-4 defenceman. Blake appeared in six All-Star Games (1994, 1999-2003) and won the Norris Trophy as the NHLs top defenceman in 1998. He also won his first and only Stanley Cup as a member of the Avalanche in 2001. In 20 seasons with the Kings, Avalanche and San Jose Sharks, Blake accumulated 240 goals, 537 points and 777 points in 1270 games. And last, but certainly not least, legendary referee Bill McCreary is getting his call to the Hall. McCreary officiated 1,737 regular season games, 297 playoff games and one All-Star Game in the NHL, as well as participating in the 1998 Nagano Olympics, the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and the 2012 Vancouver Olympics. His model of consistency is no secret as he has officiated a Stanley Cup Final-record 44 games, including 13 straight finals from 1995-2007 and his last series in 2009. McCrearys signature puck flip before the opening faceoff became a signature part of every game he refereed. ' ' '
