- The goal moved Scheifele past Dale Hawerchuk (929 points) as the Jets franchise scoring leader under the combined history of both Winnipeg NHL eras.
- It was also Scheifele’s 379th career goal, tying Hawerchuk’s franchise goals record.
- Chicago leads Winnipeg 4 to 1 late in the second period at the United Center.
- The Jets entered the game on a five game winning streak after an 8 to 3 win in Dallas on Thursday, when Scheifele tied the record with two goals and an assist.
How the Record Fell
Scheifele entered Saturday tied with Hawerchuk at 929 points after a three point night in Dallas on Thursday, two goals and an assist in the 8 to 3 win over the Stars. The tying point came on an assist on a Kyle Connor goal one minute into the third period. In Chicago, the record breaking point came late in the second period, with Morrissey and Connor setting up Scheifele at 16:05. The goal also pulled Scheifele even with Hawerchuk at 379 career goals. Hawerchuk reached 929 points in 713 games with the original Jets between 1981 and 1990. Scheifele has spent his entire NHL career with Winnipeg since his debut in 2011. The two eras were combined in the NHL record book this summer after the Arizona Coyotes went dormant, which restored Hawerchuk’s numbers to Winnipeg’s franchise history. Scheifele played his junior hockey under Hawerchuk in Barrie, which makes the moment a passing of the torch from mentor to student.

A Tough Afternoon in Chicago
The record goal was the Jets only goal through two periods. Chicago scored three times in the first period. Tyler Bertuzzi opened the scoring at 1:48, assisted by Oliver Moore and Connor Bedard. Anton Frondell made it 2 to 0 at 9:07, assisted by Teuvo Teravainen. Bedard added a power play goal at 19:56, assisted by Patrick Kane and Sam Rinzel. Frank Nazar added a power play goal at 14:44 of the second period, assisted by Teravainen and Rinzel, to make it 4 to 0 before Scheifele answered. Shots on goal through two periods were Winnipeg 15, Chicago 12. Stuart Skinner started in goal for Winnipeg.
What Comes Next
The Jets return home to face the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday. Scheifele now owns the points record outright and sits one goal from owning the goals record outright as well. The third period in Chicago will decide whether Winnipeg’s five game winning streak survives a 4 to 1 deficit.
