Mark Scheifele set a new single-season scoring record for the Winnipeg Jets/Atlanta Thrashers franchise by notching his 101st point of the 2025-26 campaign on Monday evening.
Scheifele, 33, became the first player in Jets 2.0 history to reach the century mark with an assist on Gabe Vilardi’s goal in the third period of Monday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Just over two minutes later, Scheifele added a goal of his own for point No. 101, eclipsing Marian Hossa’s 100-point season with the Thrashers in 2006-07.
101 POINTS.
The FRANCHISE RECORD for most in a season!!
Despite Scheifele’s impressive performance, the Jets were officially eliminated from Stanley Cup Playoff contention midway through their game in Vegas. Scheifele’s goal cut the Golden Knights’ lead to 4-2, but Pavel Dorofeyev and Jack Eichel scored immediately thereafter to help Vegas pull away.
Including players from the original Winnipeg Jets, who played in the NHL from 1979 to 1996, Scheifele is the fourth different Winnipeg player to reach the 100-point mark in a season. The 6’3″ center joins Dale Hawerchuk, Paul MacLean, and Teemu Selanne, the latter of whom still holds the all-time Winnipeg records with 76 goals and 132 points.
The NHL returned to Winnipeg in 2011, when True North Sports and Entertainment purchased the fledgling Thrashers franchise and relocated it to the MTS Centre (now the Canada Life Centre) in Manitoba’s capital. That summer, the newly-named Jets made Scheifele their first-ever draft pick, taking him from the OHL’s Barrie Colts with the No. 7 overall selection at the 2011 NHL Draft.
Scheifele appeared in his first seven NHL games with the Jets in the 2011-12 season and established himself as a full-fledged NHLer two years later. The Kitchener, Ontario product quickly develped into a top-six center with the Jets over the following seasons, recording his first 30-goal, 80-point year in 2016-17 and scoring 14 goals in 17 playoff contests in 2018 as the Jets reached the Western Conference Final. Just last season, Scheifele set what was then a career high with 87 points as Winnipeg won the Presidents’ Trophy.
In 959 career NHL games over parts of 15 seasons spent exclusively in Winnipeg, Scheifele has collected 371 goals and 905 points, both of which are franchise records. He’s added 26 goals and 49 points in 53 playoff contests.
