NHL: Winnipeg Jets have league-best 15-1 start [Video]

NEW YORK (AP) –

The Winnipeg Jets are the first NHL team to earn 15 wins in their first 16 games as their focused group continues to preach a “one game at a time” mantra.

Timely scoring and stellar goaltending rose to the forefront as the Jets defeated the New York Rangers 6-3 on Tuesday night. Winnipeg leads the league with a franchise-record 73 goals through 16 games.

“We know what we are doing but we don’t take too much stock in it. We just move on to the next one,” said Jets forward Kyle Connor. “It speaks to the leadership to not get too comfortable. There’s still a lot of season left.”

Connor and Mark Scheifele each scored twice Tuesday as the Jets also won their seventh consecutive road game. They are the last undefeated road team in the NHL.
