Mark Scheifele set the Winnipeg Jets franchise points record yesterday in Chicago, scoring at 16:05 of the second period for point 930 and finishing with a goal and three assists for 933 in a 5-4 shootout comeback win over the Blackhawks. FINAL: Winnipeg Jets 5, Chicago Blackhawks 4 (SO).
The full story of the record goal, the four-goal rally and the assists record that fell in the same game is in our original breaking report. The next-day layer is what the night meant once it settled: Scheifele naming the teammates behind him, a puck presented by a coach who played with Dale Hawerchuk, a pin honouring his late father, and the record’s first night at home, Tuesday against Ottawa.

The Scheifele Jets Points Record, Named Teammate By Teammate
Scheifele’s fuller reaction arrived in NHL.com’s November 15 feature on the record, and he spent it on other people. “It means a lot,” he said. “It’s pretty incredible. Never thought I’d be here, but honestly just so blessed to play with the players I’ve played with over my career: Blake Wheeler, Kyle Connor, Josh Morrissey, Dustin Byfuglien. Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little. All these guys. I wouldn’t be there without all those guys. Just very blessed.”
His own reaction at the moment itself was muted, because Winnipeg still trailed 4-1 when the goal went in. The Blackhawks then congratulated him on the United Center video board, and less than two minutes later he set up Connor’s goal at 18:01, the play that cut the lead to 4-2 and started the comeback in earnest. After the game he got a hug from general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, and head coach Scott Arniel presented the record puck, a moment the Jets posted on X on Sunday:

The NHL’s official highlights of the night carry the record goal, all three Scheifele assists and the shootout:
A Pin For His Father On The Mentors Trip
The detail that stayed with Scheifele was on his jacket. After the game he wore a pin showing a younger version of himself with his father, Brad, a gift from Gregg Derlago, his billet dad in his early NHL years, who travelled with him on the Jets’ mentors trip for the Dallas and Chicago games, as the NHL.com feature above reported. Brad Scheifele died unexpectedly on May 16, 2025, and Scheifele played Game 6 in Dallas the next day.
“Obviously wish he was here, but he’s up there watching,” Scheifele said of his dad. “I know Dale’s up there watching as well. It’s pretty special to do this tonight with all the mentors here. Not even just Gregg, but all the dads and mentors, brothers that have been there to get all of us here to where we are today and to get to experience that with all of them is something I’ll honestly remember forever.”
The Hawerchuk thread underneath the record deepened the same way. Scheifele had been committed to Cornell University as a teenager when Hawerchuk convinced him to stay with Barrie of the Ontario Hockey League, where Hawerchuk coached him. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. I really wouldn’t,” he said Friday. “He’s a guy who taught me so much at such a young age and also just instilled the confidence in me to be the player that I am and the passion in me to want to get better, want to improve. Obviously, I still wish he was here today to be watching.”
Connor And Arniel On Passing The Torch
Kyle Connor, his longtime linemate, had seen a version of this before. Scheifele first took the modern-era version of the record from Blake Wheeler on October 18, 2025, before the NHL consolidated the two eras of Jets history in September. “We kind of had that celebration last year when he broke it. Good to do it all over again. We have to reset him, so it’s even more fun,” Connor said with a laugh, in the same NHL.com feature. “I mean, he’s Winnipeg Jets hockey and he means everything to this team and especially to that family too. I know how close he is with the Hawerchuks and yeah, I mean, he was a huge engine for us tonight.”
Arniel’s view runs through both men. He was Hawerchuk’s junior teammate at Cornwall from 1979 to 1981 and later his Jets teammate, and he now coaches the man who passed him. “It’s what I said to Mark after. You know what? Dale’s wife Crystal, the kids, his mom Ellie and his sister, they’d be so proud that it was Mark because they knew ‘Scheif’ and knew the relationship he had with Dale, so that was special for me,” Arniel said. “Obviously, my closeness with Dale and being around Mark for the last five years and knowing they had the relationship, to pass that torch, it’s fantastic. Fantastic to see and obviously well earned.”
The Record Comes Home Tuesday Against Ottawa
The book as it settled overnight is complete in a way the original night only partly showed. Scheifele now leads the franchise in points with 933 and assists with 554, shares the goals lead with Hawerchuk at 379, and already held the franchise marks for games played at 982, overtime goals at 18, overtime points at 35 and 20-goal seasons at 11. He also extended his point streak to six games, with 14 points, five goals and nine assists, in that span.
Two milestones now sit directly in front of him. His next goal, his 380th, takes the franchise goals record outright and completes the sweep of the three major scoring lists. His 1,000th NHL game is 18 games away, the milestone the Hawerchuk family said they look forward to celebrating with him and Winnipeg fans. The first chance at the goals record is a home one: the Jets host the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, Scheifele’s first game at Canada Life Centre as the franchise’s all-time points leader, with Winnipeg carrying a six-game win streak into it.
