Notable:

Andrew Copp has now surpassed his career points total (28) as he’s picked up two assists in this game to hit 30 points (12G 18A) for first time of his career. And he did it in 43 fewer games.

Seventh straight seasons with at least 30 assists for Mark Scheifele. I saw something from the NHL that this is the fastest he’s ever hit that many assists.

With that assist on the fourth Jets goal Mark Scheifele moves into a tie with Dustin Byfuglien for third spot on the all-time assists list for this franchise with 294.

With his goal tonight Kyle Connor now has 123 for the franchise which moves him into sole possession of 9th spot on the all-time franchise list (one ahead of Dustin Byfuglien).

Kyle Connor takes over 6th spot in the all-time franchise spot for game-winning goals with his 23rd leaving former Jets captain Andrew Ladd alone in 7th .

Multi-point game:

Pierre-Luc Dubois 2G
Andrew Copp 2A
Nikolaj Ehlers 2A
