Mark Scheifele has passed his former coach and mentor for the top spot in Winnipeg Jets scoring history. A goal on November 14, 2026, gave him career point No. 930, moving him beyond Dale Hawerchukโs 929. Source Source
That record spans more than the Jetsโ current run in Winnipeg. According to NHL Public Relations, the league expanded the teamโs statistical history before the 2026โ27 season to include the original Winnipeg Jets (1979โ96), the current Winnipeg team established in 2011 and its Atlanta Thrashers years (1999โ2011).

Hawerchukโs run at No. 1 lasted nearly 42 years. The NHL dates his outright scoring lead to December 11, 1984, when his 340th career point moved him past Morris Lukowich. Source
Hawerchuk coached Scheifele with the Ontario Hockey Leagueโs Barrie Colts when Winnipeg selected him seventh overall in the 2011 NHL Draftโthe clubโs first pick upon returning to the city. As returns on a draft pick go, thatโll do. Source
The milestone goal did double duty: it also moved Scheifele into a tie with Hawerchuk at 379 goals, one from the outright lead. The NHLโs fact sheet limits its statistics to Scheifeleโs first point on November 14, rather than final-game totals. Source
