After exiting Tuesday's game to get some stitches, Scheifele was again unable to compete in Thursday's game, leaving with a lower-body injury in the second period after playing only 7:41 time-on-ice. Luckily for the Jets, Scheifele's injury does not appear to be serious and should not miss too much time for a team that is already without Kyle Connor. Before his injury, Scheifele had five points (2G / 3A) while riding a four-game point streak.

Scheifele exited the game with a non-contact injury early in the second period of Thursday's game and will not return. His absence will leave a serious void in a Jets' top-six that is already missing Kyle Connor. We should expect to receive an update on Scheifele's injury and a possible timeline for his return following the completion of Thursday's game.

Scheifele had 42 goals, 26 assists, 43 PIMs, 206 SOG, and a -16 plus/minus through 81 games played in 2022-23 and has now signed a seven-year, $59.5 million contract extension ($8,500,000 AAV). The 30-year-old Jets captain is entering his 13th NHL season (all with Winnipeg) and has 272 goals and 645 points in 723 career games played.

Scheifele left Game 4 Monday after just three shifts and 1:40 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will not play in Game 5 on Thursday. The 30-year-old has struggled to produce this offseason, with a goal, 10 SOG, four PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through four games.

Scheifele left Game 4 Monday after just three shifts and 1:40 TOI due to an undiclosed injury and will be a game-time decision for Game 5 on Tuesday. The 30-year-old has struggled to produce this offseason, with a goal, 10 SOG, four PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through four games.

Scheifele had 42 goals, 26 assists, 206 SOG, 43 PIMs and a -16 plus/minus through 81 games this season but will not play in the final game of the year Thursday for rest-related purposes. The 30-year-old centre put up a career-high in both goals (42) and shots (206) this season.

Scheifele left Sunday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. Post-game, interim head coach Dave Lowry said that he will not play Monday and will be evaluated when the team returns to Winnipeg. The fact that he was ruled out right away likely isn't a good sign for his availability in the immediate future.

Scheifele was missing from Monday's practice but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Blues. Scheifele has picked up one assist in three games since returning from the COVID-19 reserve list.

Scheifele remains in COVID-19 protocol and will miss his second straight game. Paul Stastny and Pierre-Luc Dubois will continue to operate as the team's top-2 centres while Scheifele is out.

A few days after it was announced that Blake Wheeler tested positive for COVID-19, Scheiefle enters COVID-19 protocol. This will leave the Jets without two-thirds of their top-line when they take on the Ducks on Thursday. Look for Pierre-Luc Dubois and Paul Stastny to play increased roles with Scheifele out.

Scheifele will serve the final game of his suspension that was handed down by the NHL during the postseason for his hit on Jake Evans. With Scheifele out for the season opener, Paul Stastny is expected to centre the Jets' top line and Pierre-Luc Dubois should see time on PP1.

Scheifele was given some rest the other night but will draw back in tonight vs. the Flames. Scheifele has been hot as of late and has 23 goals and 37 assists (70 points) in 58 games this season.
