NASHVILLE – The franchise-record winning streak has finally come to an end.

The Winnipeg Jets got another strong goaltending performance from Eric Comrie, but special teams let them down in a 2-1 loss to the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday.

The Jets’ league-leading power play has been flat since returning from the break and that trend continued on a night the team went zero-for-five with the man-advantage. Winnipeg is now zero-for-14 during the past four outings.

For the second time in as many games, the Jets were unable to cash in on a lengthy five-on-three that lasted one minute and 54 seconds.

To compound matters, the Predators got a power-play marker from Tommy Novak for what was the game-winning goal.

Neal Pionk scored the lone marker for the Jets, who got 28 saves from Comrie.

Juuse Saros made 23 saves for the Predators.

After rattling off 11 consecutive victories, the Jets slipped to 42-15-3 for the season and they’ll host the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday at Canada Life Centre.
