“Obviously, I’m tremendously honoured,” Scheifele said. “I’m still trying to catch another guy (Hawerchuk). For that one, it will be cool.”
Dale Hawerchuk scored 929 points as a member of the original Jets.
“We’re all happy for Scheifele,” Logan Stanley said. “He’s an unbelievable teammate and human, and it’s incredible to watch what he does every night.”
Kyle Connor threaded a diagonal cross-ice seam pass to Scheifele inside the faceoff circle to the right of the Nashville net. Scheifele’s one-timed shot found the top half of the net over the left shoulder of Jusse Saros for his sixth goal of the season and 341st of his career. The Kitchener native also has 471 helpers in 884 games played with the club.

“(The penalty kill) has done a great job,” Stanley said. “Your best penalty killer has got to be your goalie and (they have) been, and we’ve got lots of pressure and some veteran guys out there that know what’s going on.”
Overall, the Jets penalty kill is ranked No. 2 in the league at 95.4 per cent, turning back 21 of 22 opportunities against.
“I love how aggressive we are as four,” head coach Scott Arniel said. “Not just one or two but all four, when one moves, they all move. That’s really helped, and we have some quickness to do that.”
The power play converted twice in three chances. The Jets are 5-for-15 on man advantage through five games.
Often the whipping boy for what supposedly ails the team, cheers of ‘Logan, Logan’ erupted when d-man Stanley dropped the gloves with Nashville heavyweight Mike McCarron at 8:28 of the second period.

“I think it’s a first, so yeah, it felt good, I’ll take it,” Stanley said of his namesake chants.
Stanley gave the home crowd another reason to cheer his name when he buried his second goal of the season at 5:26 of the third period as his shot from near the blue line to the right of Saros beat the goaltender to the short side. The puck was deflected by Predators Fedor Svechkov on its way to the net.
“That was a great play by Gustav [Nyquist], and it’s kind of weird when you have that much time, so just head down and hammer it,” Stanley said. The 6-foot-7 defender has now set a career high in goals scored in a season.
Michael Bunting scored for Nashville. The Predators finished their four-city road trip through Canada with a 1-2-1 record. Erik Haula, Roman Josi and Jonathan Marchessault lead the Predators in points with four each. Marchessault was out of the lineup on Saturday with a lower-body injury.
Saros stopped 20 shots in the loss.
