To know what drives Mark Scheifele, look no further than the examples set by the best players in the NHL.
"You see guys like Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid — they're always trying to get better," said the Winnipeg Jets centre Wednesday afternoon. "They're trying to get better defensively. They trying working on little intricacies of the game to get that edge. That's what I try to do."
Clearly, Scheifele has learned his lessons well.
On Tuesday, the 23-year-old centre vaulted to the top of the NHL's points scoring list with a four-point effort in an 8-2 win over the Dallas Stars.
