Mark Scheifele’s hat trick leads Winnipeg over Dallas 5-2
WINNIPEG — Mark Scheifele couldn’t have timed his second career hat trick any better.
Scheifele’s parents were in the stands at Bell MTS Place to watch his three goals help propel the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-2 win over the Dallas Stars on Thursday.
“Definitely a long time,” Scheifele said when asked about the last time his parents from Ontario saw him net a hat trick. “It was pretty fun to have a game like that in front of them.”
He scored once during the first period and twice in the third, sending the hats raining down with an empty-netter with 1:00 left, his seventh goal of the season. His first hat trick was March 5, 2016 at home against Montreal in his third season.
