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

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

Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck turned aside 32 shots in the process, he set the franchise 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 netminder Jake Oettinger was chased 29:21 into the game after making only 11 saves on 15 shots.

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