Nikolaj Ehlers has made history by becoming the highest-scoring Danish player in NHL history with 474 points following a goal in the Winnipeg Jets' 7-4 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Ehlers humbly rejected comparisons to Wayne Gretzky, emphasizing his respect for past Danish players like Frans Nielsen, who previously held the record.
Jets coach Scott Arniel praised Ehlers' scoring ability and noted that the team is gaining momentum. A significant hit by Logan Stanley also energized the team and fans, contributing to their victory.
