Mark Scheifele tied Dale Hawerchuk’s Winnipeg Jets points record at 929 with two goals and an assist in an 8–3 victory over the Dallas Stars on November 12. The Jets have now won five straight. SourceSource
Dallas even led 2–0 after the first period. A generous head start, as it turned out. Source
Scheifele scored both of his goals during Winnipeg’s five-goal second period. He collected a rebound to pull the Jets level at 2–2, then later delivered a power-play one-timer from the left circle for Winnipeg’s first lead. SourceSource
The record-tying assist came in the third period. Scheifele moved the puck from behind the net to Gabriel Vilardi, whose pass set up Kyle Connor for the goal that made it 6–3. Winnipeg still found room for two more goals. SourceSource
A familiar name at the top
According to Gino Hard, Scheifele had already passed Blake Wheeler last season, when the record book covered only the Atlanta Thrashers and current Jets. The outlet reports that the NHL incorporated the original Jets’ statistics in September 2026, moving Hawerchuk to the top. Source
Hawerchuk was also Scheifele’s junior coach with the OHL’s Barrie Colts, according to Gino Hard. Gino Hard quotes Scheifele speaking in September about the chase: Source
“It’s funny, I got a couple of records in my name, but at the end of the day there was always one guy I was chasing and that was Dale.” Source
One more point, no complicated math
Other marks are close, too. Gino Hard’s postgame totals put Scheifele at 378 goals and 551 assists, leaving him one goal short of matching Hawerchuk’s 379 and two assists short of matching Thomas Steen’s 553. Source
One more point would give Scheifele sole possession of the Jets’ points lead. SourceSource
