@Winnipeg Jets captain @Blake Wheeler now has the Winnipeg Jets (and Atlanta Thrashers) record for most points by a player when he tied and then passed @Ilya Kovalchuk with a goal and an assist on Saturday afternoon in Minnesota.
Wheeler came into the game needing two points to take the outright lead and with a shorthanded goal in the first period against the Wild he tied the all-time mark at 615 points.
As they are shorthanded, Adam Lowry with a sweet pass to the captain and Blake Wheeler makes it a 1-0 game for the #NHLJets
The Minnesota born Wheeler then took top spot on the franchise leader-board in front of family and friends with an assist on @Patrik Laine’s power-play goal in the third period.
What a rocket from Laine! Blake Wheeler point 616 and is the all-time franchise points leader. 5-0 #NHLJets
