Notable:

Tonight was the 850th regular season game for Mark Scheifele who has the second most points of anyone drafted in 2011 with 774 (326G 448A) coming into the game. In 25 games he will surpass former captain Blake Wheeler with the most games played in a Jets 2.0 uniform. He is still 101 away from surpassing Jets 1.0 captain Thomas Steen who played 950 games in a Winnipeg jersey from 1981-82 to 1994-95.

Mark Scheifele scored his 30th and 31st goals of the season. This is his fourth 30 goal season. He’s on pace for 48 which would set a career high. He’s also got the second most goals in the NHL. His second goal of the game turned out to be the game-winning goal which was the second straight game he got the GWG for his team. It was also the 8th time this season he has a GWG and the 56th of his career.

Jets defenceman Neal Pionk got his 33rd point of the season with an assist on the second goal for Winnipeg. That matched his points totals for the last two seasons but he does it in 29 fewer games. He’s on pace for 51 which would be a career high.

Parker Ford scored in his first ever AHL game. Parker Ford scored in his first ever NHL game. What an NHL debut.

Kyle Connor also scored as he put the puck into the empty net for his 30th goal of the season. It’s the 7th time in 8 seasons he’s got to at least 30 goals.

Multipoint Game:

Mark Scheifele 2G
