The latest edition of NHL Stats News where I give you all the latest stats and milestones from around the NHL over the past couple of days. We start with the crazy game the Winnipeg Jets won against the Montreal Canadiens, then to the rookies dominating for the Detroit Red Wings, and more streaks from the Colorado Avalanche. Then we go to Chris Kreider and more goal-scoring, Roman Josi’s milestone, and more impressive stuff from the stars of the Edmonton Oilers. All this and more.
High Scoring Historic Game Between Jets & Canadiens
The Jets are the first team in NHL history to blow a four-goal lead and still win by at least four goals. They’re also the first team to score four consecutive goals, allow four straight, then score four more consecutive goals. The Jets scored four goals within the first 10 minutes of the game for the second time in franchise history (also 2005). They are the second team to do so this season, joining the Pittsburgh Penguins (Jan. 2).
Ir is the third time two clubs have combined for seven first-period goals this season, joining the San Jose Sharks and Penguins (Jan. 2) and Colorado Avalanche and Philadelphia Flyers (Dec. 6).
Blake Wheeler played his 800th game for the Jets. He is the second player to play 800 games with the franchise, joining Bryan Little (843 GP). Pierre-Luc Dubois has the third-longest multi-assist streak in franchise history (three). Mark Scheifele recorded his first career Gordie Howe hat trick. He is the first Jets player with a Gordie Howe hat trick since Jim Slater (2015).
Rookies Run the Show in Detroit
Moritz Seider set a franchise record for longest point streak by a rookie defenceman (seven games). Only three defencemen have had longer point streaks this season: Kris Letang (10 GP), Cale Makar (eight GP), and Seth Jones (eight GP).
