Scheifele Becomes Jets All-Time Points Leader With 813 vs Nashville

Mark Scheifele became the Winnipeg Jets' all time points leader Saturday night, scoring a first-period power-play goal as the Jets beat the Nashville Predators 4-1 at Canada Life Centre. The goal gave Scheifele 813 career points, moving him past Blake Wheeler's franchise total of 812. Earlier in the week Scheifele had tied Wheeler by scoring twice in a 5-2 road victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Scheifele opened Saturday's scoring 2 minutes, 39 seconds into the game, one-timing a cross-ice pass from Kyle Connor for his sixth goal of the season. That gave him 813 points on a career ledger of 342 goals and 471 assists. Vladislav Namestnikov also scored on the power play, Logan Stanley added a blast from the point early in the third period, and Nino Niederreiter finished a breakaway to round out Winnipeg's scoring. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 30 shots for the Jets. Juuse Saros made 20 saves for Nashville, and Michael Bunting scored a late goal for the Predators.

The milestone followed Scheifele's two-goal night Thursday in Philadelphia, when he tied Wheeler at 812 points. Scheifele's first goal in that game came at 7:01 of the second period when he snapped a shot past Flyers...
