With two points in the game Neal Pionk picked up his 200th and 201st points as a Jet.
It was the first ever two point NHL game for Nikita Chibrikov as the Jets prospect (2021 2nd) now has 2G 1a in two career NHL games.
That was the 53rd game-winning goal of Mark Scheifele‘s career which puts him 2nd on the All-Time list behind Kyle Connor who has 55.
About one year ago the Jets beat the Bruins 5-1 in an electric game at home and tonight they win 8-1 in what was also an electric atmosphere.
Multipoint Game:
Mark Scheifele 2G 1A
Kyle Connor 1G 2A
Gabriel Vilardi 1G 1A
Nikita Chibrikov 1G 1A
Neal Pionk 2A
