Jets' Scheifele passes Wheeler for most points in franchise history

Mark Scheifele passed Blake Wheeler for the most points in Winnipeg Jets franchise history with an early power-play goal against the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.

The record includes points accumulated with the Atlanta Thrashers. Wheeler played 23 games for the Thrashers before the team relocated to Winnipeg in 2011.

Scheifele has spent his entire career with the Jets. He was the first draft pick the team made after relocating to Winnipeg when the Jets selected him seventh overall in 2011. Scheifele surpassed Kovalchuk for the most goals in franchise history last season.
