Mark Scheifele became the all-time leader in points for the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday after putting up No. 813 with a power play goal in the first period against the Nashville Predators.

The Jets' veteran surpassed Blake Wheeler (812) on the franchise's all-time list - also his sixth goal of the season.

Scheifele has spent all 15 years of his career with the Jets after they selected him seventh overall in the 2011 NHL Draft. He was the team's very first pick after they relocated from Atlanta. 

Since he made his debut during the 2011-2012 season, Scheifele has put up a career 342 goals and 471 assists for his franchise-setting 813 points. 

The 31-year-old's 342 goals also lead the Jets all-time. He will need 80 more assists to surpass Wheeler for most in Jets history. 

And for someone who has posted 47 and 48 assists in the past two seasons, respectively, that goal is definitely obtainable for Scheifele, especially with five years left on his seven-year, $59.5 million contract.
