An exclamation point for the present and a glimpse of the future.
That's a snapshot of what Saturday's 4-2 triumph over the Montreal Canadiens represents for the Winnipeg Jets.
At the heart of the action was third-year centre Mark Scheifele, who continued his torrid pace by pumping home three goals to give him the first 20-goal campaign of his young career.
That first career hat trick brought a big smile to the face of Scheifele, who has eight goals and five assists for 13 points during his past eight games to push him to 40 points in 53 games this season.
