Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele made history during Thursday night's 8-3 victory over the Dallas Stars, reaching the Winnipeg franchise points record set by Dale Hawerchuk. The 33-year-old scored two goals and provided an assist, bringing his career point total to 929, tying Hawerchuk's record of 929 points. Scheifele's achievement is particularly notable as Hawerchuk coached him during their time together in the OHL.
This milestone is now shared with the franchise's all-time leading scorer, Hawerchuk, who previously held the record with 929 points. Scheifele's 929-point season comes after 22 points in 20 games this year, his highest point total to date. The Jets extended their winning streak to five games with this victory, which also restored Hawerchuk's point totals to Winnipeg's historical record following the franchise's relocation from Atlanta in 2011.
