Mark Scheifele scored in overtime, leading the Winnipeg Jets to their 10th consecutive victory against the San Jose Sharks. His goal, the 32nd of the season, allowed him to surpass Ilya Kovalchuk's franchise record of 328 goals. Scheifele expressed disbelief at his achievement, sharing his journey since playing junior hockey. He also highlighted his aspirations to lead in other statistical categories. His recent contract extension has solidified his role with the team, despite earlier rumors about his future.
"He wouldn't believe it, that's for sure. A kid from Kitchener, playing with the Kitchener Dutchman way back when I was 16, I never would have believed you. All you've got to do is trust in God's plan, and that's what I've done."
"Scheifele has been able to cross off the list is goals, but he is quickly closing in on several other categories. He trails Blake Wheeler by 42 games, 97 assists and 30 points for first in each statistic."
