THE Winnipeg Jets set a record for the best start in NHL history, breaking the Dallas Stars 4-1 on Saturday to become the first team in the league to win 14 of its first 15 games.

The Ottawa Senators won 13 of their first 14 games in 2007-08.

Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck stopped 32 shots in the process and set the franchise’s shutout streak record at 191 minutes, 45 seconds.

Alex Iafallo and Vladislav Namestnikov each had a goal and an assist for Winnipeg. Rasmus Kupari and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored and Cole Perfetti had two assists.

Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger was carted off at 29:21 of the game after making just 11 saves on 15 shots.

Dallas was able to salvage a goal that ended Hellebuyck’s shutout streak before it reached three straight games. Roope Hintz scored with 1:22 remaining on assists from Thomas Harley and Evgenii Dadonov.
