NEW YORK (AP) — Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor each scored twice, Connor Hellebuyck made 33 saves, and the Winnipeg Jets won their seventh straight, 6-3 over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night. Gabriel Vilardi and Vladislav Namestnikov also scored for the Jets, who have now won 15 of their first 16 games.

Riding a six-game winning streak and sporting a 14-1 record that set the NHL mark for the best start of all time, the Jets open a three-game road trip against Eastern Conference opponents with a marquee matchup with the New York Rangers — who captured the Presidents’ Trophy last season.

With a 6-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, the Winnipeg Jets now have the NHL's most points at 30 and the most goals at 73, and became the first franchise in NHL history to win 15 of its first 16 contests.
