Winnipeg Jets centre Mark Schefiele named to NHL Network's top 20 centres list for 2025 As the NHL’s offseason lull stretches into its quietest phase, analysts are turning their attention to one of the season’s most anticipated media releases, the NHL Network’s annual Top 20 centres rankings. This year, the spotlight shines on Winnipeg Jets centre Mark Scheifele, who earns a spot at No. 9 on the list. This comes after last season when he didn't crack the list. NHL Network (@NHLNetwork) on X [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gy0s9yzWUAAoDJ7.jpg:large] NHL Network (@NHLNetwork) on X Mark Scheifele soars into the Top 10! ✈️ @NHLJets | #NHLTopPlayers [https://x.com/NHLNetwork/status/1958296487496134903?t=91AYfvLgqYAUuQCRkLya9w&s=19] Scheifele delivered a career-best performance during the 2024–25 regular season, playing in all 82 games and finishing with a personal-high 87 points. He scored 39 goals, marking the fourth time in his career he reached the 30-goal milestone, and added 48 assists, just two short of his career high. He also posted a +12 rating and led the NHL with 11 game-winning goals. The defining moment of his season came in Game 6 of the second round, when Scheifele showed incredible resilience and leadership. Just hours after the sudden passing of his father, he took the ice and scored a goal in his memory. The emotional tribute captured the attention of the sports world and became a lasting highlight in what was already a memorable season for both Scheifele and the franchise. The ranking from NHL Network not only reflects Scheifele's statistical output, but also his maturation into a true two-way force capable of delivering in high-pressure situations, leading offensively, and elevating his defensive game. His standing places him just behind established stars like Auston Matthews, Sidney Crosby, and Brayden Point. At the same time, he is also ahead of notable names like Jack Hughes, Nick Suzuki and Robert Thomas.
