Winnipeg: Patrik Laine scored twice to extend his point streak to 15 games and tie Alex Ovechkin for the NHL goal lead, and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Dallas Stars 4-3 to match the franchise wins record at 43.
The second-year sniper has 43 goals, matching the total from Ovechkin, the Washington star and Laine’s boyhood favourite. Laine’s point streak is the longest active run in the NHL and adds to his league record for the longest point streak by a teenager. The streak includes 18 goals and eight assists.
Ben Chiarot also scored and Blake Wheeler added an empty-netter for Winnipeg.
Mattias Janmark and Jamie Benn each scored for Dallas.
Connor Hellebuyck made 28 saves for the Jets in the second game of a six-game homestand. The last time they reached 43 wins was 2014-15, when they made the play-offs for the first time since relocating to Winnipeg from Atlanta.
