CHICAGO — Mark Scheifele arrived at the United Center needing one point to stand alone at the top of the Winnipeg Jets' record book. By the time he left, he had broken the record outright — and led one of the most improbable comebacks of the NHL season. The Jets beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 in a shootout on Saturday, November 14, rallying from a 4-0 deficit late in the second period for their sixth consecutive victory. It was a new game and a new milestone, not a repeat of Thursday's win in Dallas: two nights after Scheifele tied Dale Hawerchuk's franchise points record at 929, he passed it with his 930th point, finishing with a goal and three assists for 933 points, all with Winnipeg. ## A record, then a rally Scheifele's historic moment came at 16:05 of the second period. With the Jets trailing 4-0, Josh Morrissey fed the puck in front from the goal line, Scheifele tapped it in, and the announcement told the crowd what had happened: point number 930, one more than Hawerchuk's 929, and the outright franchise lead. The goal carried a second piece of history with it. It was Scheifele's 379th goal, tying Hawerchuk for the franchise's all-time goals record. And before the night was over, Scheifele added a third record: his third assist of the afternoon, on the tying goal, gave him 554 for his career and moved him past Thomas Steen's 553 for the most assists in Jets history. "It means a lot," Scheifele said. "It's pretty incredible. Never thought I'd be here." ![Kyle Connor of the Winnipeg Jets in action against the Seattle Kraken](https://api.sportsbriefly.com/storage/v1/object/public/media/api/1794711940582-et7zub-other-inside1-2026-11-15-morning.jpg) ## How Chicago built a 4-0 lead For the first 35 minutes, none of that seemed likely to matter. Tyler Bertuzzi opened the scoring just 1:48 in, beating Stuart Skinner from the slot after a pass from Oliver Moore. Anton Frondell made it 2-0 at 9:07, redirecting a Teuvo Teravainen shot off the post. Connor Bedard added a power-play goal with four seconds left in the period, finishing into an open net after Patrick Kane fed him from behind the goal. Frank Nazar extended the lead to 4-0 at 14:44 of the second period, redirecting a Teravainen pass on the power play. Skinner, who had allowed three goals on eight shots, had already been replaced by Nico Daws, who stopped 12 of the 13 shots he faced. Chicago looked on its way to a second straight win. Instead, the lead lasted barely more than a minute. ## The strangest goal of the comeback Scheifele's record goal made it 4-1. Less than two minutes later came one of the strangest goals of the season. Chicago goaltender Spencer Knight skated behind his net to play a dump-in, but his stick became wedged in a gap in the end boards and he could not free it. Scheifele pounced on the loose puck and fed Kyle Connor, who scored into the open net at 18:01. It was Connor's 17th goal of the season and, according to the Associated Press, the 700th point of his NHL career. "It's never happened to me," Knight said. "I've seen it happen before. That was the first time it has ever happened to me. It was stuck, and you don't really know what to do." The goal changed the shape of the game: Chicago still led by two at the second intermission, but the Jets had life. Cole Perfetti cut the deficit to one just 55 seconds into the third period, scoring on the power play after Scheifele's backhand pass from behind the net and a touch from Gabriel Vilardi. ## Tying it late, winning it in the shootout The tying goal came with 1:13 left in regulation, and it was Scheifele again. With Daws pulled for an extra attacker, Scheifele set up Vilardi at the front of the net to make it 4-4 at 18:47 — Scheifele's fourth point, and the assist that moved him past Steen. "Definitely not how we drew it up," Scheifele said. "But honestly, just resiliency. We didn't have to do it in one shift. We didn't have to do it in one period. We had lots of time. Just resilience." ![The interior of the United Center in Chicago](https://api.sportsbriefly.com/storage/v1/object/public/media/api/1794711954399-tqvsuz-other-inside2-2026-11-15-morning.jpg) Neither team scored in overtime, and the game went to a shootout — the first of the season for both teams. Scheifele scored in the opening round, and after Daws stopped Bedard, Connor scored on the backhand to put Winnipeg ahead 2-0. Kane kept Chicago alive in the second round, but Daws then turned aside rookie Roman Kantserov in the third to seal the 5-4 win. Knight finished with 27 saves, and the Blackhawks fell to 5-13-2, having lost seven of their last eight. ## What the night means The comeback was not a one-off. It was the Jets' second rally from a 4-0 deficit to win this season: on November 3, they came back from the same scoreline to beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-4 in overtime, ending a nine-game losing streak. According to NHL records, Winnipeg became only the second team in league history to record multiple four-goal comeback wins inside a 12-day span, following the Florida Panthers. The Jets have now won six in a row since that night in Montreal, improving to 10-8-3. Kane's assist on Bedard's goal also gave him 1,410 career points, passing Hawerchuk's 1,409 for 23rd on the NHL's all-time list. ## What comes next The Jets return home to host the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, carrying a six-game winning streak and a centre who now owns the franchise points and assists records outright, with the goals record tied. The Blackhawks host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, trying to stop a slide that has now cost them seven of eight.
