A new name stands alone in Winnipeg Jets lore.
Mark Scheifele broke the franchise's all-time scoring record on Saturday, notching a goal in the second period against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Scheifele is now at 930 career points — all with Winnipeg — surpassing the Dale Hawerchuk's mark of 929 set with the first version of the franchise.
The Jets centre also matched Hawerchuk's goals mark of 379.
The milestone comes after the NHL announced this summer that statistics from both versions of the Winnipeg Jets are now merged, something made possible after the Arizona Coyotes went dormant in 2024.
Scheifele was the first-ever draft pick by the new Jets franchise after moving to Winnipeg from Atlanta in 2011. Since then, he has been a consistent offensive star over his 14 seasons, including scoring a career-high 103 points last season. This season, he had 22 points in 20 games entering action Saturday.
Before being drafted by the Jets, Scheifele played under Hawerchuk when the Jets legend coached the OHL's Barrie Colts.
Hawerchuk played nine of the 16 seasons in his Hall of Fame career with the Jets from 1981 to 1990. He died of cancer in 2020 at age 57.
