Mark Scheifele tied Dale Hawerchuk for the most points in Winnipeg Jets history yesterday in Dallas, scoring twice and adding an assist in an 8-3 win over the Dallas Stars to reach 929 career points. FINAL: Winnipeg Jets 8, Dallas Stars 3.
The full story of the record-tying night, the five-goal second period and the record book that was only put back together in September is in our original breaking report. The next-day layer is Scheifele’s own reaction to catching his former coach, a week-to-week injury ruling that reshapes the Jets blue line, and the first chance to own the record outright, Saturday afternoon in Chicago.

The Scheifele Hawerchuk Record, In His Own Words
“Yeah, words can’t really describe how it feels, it’s pretty incredible,” Scheifele said after the game, in the Jets’ official game report on NHL.com. “Just the amazing player that he was and what he meant to the city of Winnipeg and what he meant to me, it’s a pretty cool feeling.”
The reaction carries the history in it. Hawerchuk coached Scheifele for three seasons with the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League, and Scheifele said in September, when the NHL consolidated the two eras of Jets history into one record book, that Hawerchuk was always the one name he was chasing. The tie also landed on a fitting trip and against a fitting opponent: the Jets opened their Mentors Trip in Dallas, and Scheifele entered the night with 56 points in 49 career games against the Stars, more than he has scored against any other NHL opponent, per the team report.
The Jets marked the milestone on X on Friday:

The NHL’s official highlights of the eight-goal night carry both Scheifele goals and the Kyle Connor goal, one minute into the third period, that brought point 929:
DeMelo Out Week To Week As Jets Head To Chicago
The win came with a cost that only became clear after the final horn. Head coach Scott Arniel said defenceman Dylan DeMelo will be out week-to-week with the lower-body injury he suffered in the first period, as TSN reported Friday. DeMelo got tangled up with Mikko Rantanen in front of the Winnipeg net, could not put pressure on his right leg as he left the ice, and played just 2:33. The 33-year-old has one goal and eight points in 20 games this season while averaging 19:22 of ice time.
Winnipeg finished the Dallas game with five defencemen, and the depth behind them is thin: Elias Salomonsson remains away from the team on a personal leave. The Hockey Writers’ Friday report expects a recall from the Manitoba Moose before Saturday’s game, and Illegal Curve’s morning papers note the timing helps: the Jets practise in Chicago on Friday afternoon, and the Moose are also in Illinois, in Rosemont to face the IceHogs on their own road trip.
Arniel’s post-game focus stayed on the group’s form. “Yeah, that’s the biggest thing for me over these last five games is that the confidence now is back,” he said in the team report. The five-game streak is a season high for Winnipeg, built right after a nine-game winless run, and it has moved the Jets to 9-8-3, tied for fifth in the Central Division and one point behind Dallas for fourth, per TSN.
One Point From Owning The Record In Chicago
Saturday afternoon at United Center, one point makes Scheifele the highest-scoring player in Winnipeg Jets history on his own. The margins around the main record are just as tight: his next goal ties Hawerchuk’s franchise record of 379, and his 551 assists sit two behind Thomas Steen’s franchise record of 553, so a three-point game in Chicago could move him to the top of all three lists in one afternoon. He arrives in form, with 22 points in 20 games this season after a career-best 103 points last season.
If the record does not fall in Chicago, the chase comes home. After Saturday, the Jets return to Winnipeg for a four-game homestand that opens Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators, per TSN’s schedule note. Either way, the student is one point from passing the teacher in the book both of them now share.
