After Dylan Samberg opened the Jets scoring, he collected a rebound off Jake Oettinger to tie the game at 2-2. He later scored his second goal on the power play at 18:12, giving Winnipeg its first lead of the night at 4-3. That goal also brought him within one point of Hawerchuk’s record and moved him past Blake Wheeler into second place on the franchise’s all-time assists list.The achievement carries additional significance because Hawerchuk coached Scheifele during his three seasons with the OHL’s Barrie Colts before he entered the NHL. Scheifele was also the first player selected by the Jets after the franchise relocated from Atlanta in 2011.The NHL combined the records of the original Winnipeg Jets and the current franchise last summer following the Arizona Coyotes’ deactivation in 2024. That decision restored Hawerchuk’s numbers to Winnipeg’s historical records. He accumulated 929 points across nine seasons with the original Jets before his 1990 trade to the Buffalo Sabres.Scheifele has garnered 22 points through 20 games this season after finishing with a career-best 103 points last year. Meanwhile, Thursday’s victory extended Winnipeg’s winning streak to five games, a season high.The Jets will have another opportunity to give Scheifele sole possession of the franchise record when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.Related: Jets’ Dawson Mercer savors 2-goal revenge game vs. Devils
