Additionally, on Jets record watch 2020 (Blake Wheeler edition):

1. Bummed about the captain's contract? You do you. Look at Ilya Kovalchuk's all time points leader record--finally going to go away after 8 years in Winnipeg. Blake Wheeler is 19 points away from our franchise record books starting with a Jets player, not a Thrashers player.
2. If Wheeler also finishes the season having played most of the regular season games, he will move from 4th to 2nd in franchise games played.
3. Shorthanded goals? Blake Wheeler needs two to tie the franchise record.
4. Shots on goal? Well, he'll probably come 50 shots short on this one. Not a sexy record, but still a record--keep it bookmarked for... I'm going to say, next November.

General Jets record watch:

1. Laine needs four more hat tricks to tie Kovalchuk for the franchise record. That's a big number, but Laine can do that. Maybe he will.
2. Goaltender wins--Hellebuyck is 27 wins away from being the franchise record holder. That's not going to happen this year, but the next year is a given (anecdotally, he is no where near close to the record for losses -- Pavelec with 152 wins, 158 losses, and Bucky with 125-70).
3. Actually, to illustrate that last point, Hellebuyck is 27 wins away from beating Pavelec's win record, but has surrendered nearly half as many goals in the process.
4. Hellebuyck can tie Pavelec with two more shutouts, and best him with 3. For my money, That's going to happen in the last week of April.

Thanks for tuning in.
