Rotowire
Scheifele scored a goal, doled out nine hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.
Just hours after the unexpected death of his father, Scheifele chose to suit up in Game 6 with the Jets facing elimination. He gave them a storybook start, scoring the opening goal at 5:28 of the second period, but in a cruel twist, the 32-year-old was in the penalty box when the Stars won the game in overtime. Scheifele ends the playoffs at five goals, six assists and 22 shots on net over 11 appearances. All the best to Scheifele and his family as they navigate the heartbreaking loss of a loved one.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Availability unclear for Game 6
Rotowire
Scheifele (personal) is questionable for Game 6 against Dallas on Saturday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Scheifele's father, Brad, passed away Friday night, and it is too early to know right now if the 32-year-old forward will be available to play against the Stars. Scheifele could be a game-time decision for the matchup. He has four goals and 10 points through 10 contests this postseason. If Scheifele sits out, David Gustafsson, Dominic Toninato or Rasmus Kupari could face Dallas on Saturday.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Slated to play
Rotowire
Scheifele (upper body) is expected to play versus the Stars in Wednesday's Game 1, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.
Scheifele was in a non-contact jersey at practice Tuesday, but he participated in Wednesday's morning skate in his usual top-line spot. The 32-year-old center was apparently on the probable side of a game-time decision and should return after missing the last two contests of the first round. He racked up six points in five games against the Blues, so Scheifele's return will be a big boost for the Jets' offense.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Skates Tuesday
Rotowire
Scheifele (upper body) skated in a non-contact sweater ahead of Wednesday's Game 1 matchup with Dallas. The veteran center is considered day-to-day and will be a game-time call versus the Stars, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Scheifele will have one more day to recover ahead of Game 1, which could see him return to action following a two-game stint on the shelf. Prior to getting hurt, the Ontario native generated two goals and four assists in five postseason clashes with the Blues. If cleared to play, Schefiele will no doubt take back both his first-line center role and his spot with the No. 1 power-play unit.

If he receives clearance to play in Game 7, the 32-year-old forward will return to the top line and see time on the first power-play unit.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Ruled out for Game 6
Rotowire
Scheifele (undisclosed) won't travel for Game 6 against the Blues on Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Scheifele has registered a point in 14 of his last 18 games, racking up a combined six goals and 12 helpers, including a trio of power-play points. With their No. 1 center on the shelf, the Jets may have to get creative with their line combinations, possibly moving Adam Lowry up to the first line to play with Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi. At this point, even if Winnipeg has a more concrete deadline, the team is unlikely to share it, which means fantasy managers will likely have to take a game-by-game approach with Scheifele.

Rotowire
Scheifele scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 2-1 win over the Blues in Game 2 of their first-round series.

Scheifele has begun the postseason with a bang, racking up two goals and five points as the Jets have surged out to a 2-0 lead, and he'll look to stay locked in when the series shifts to St. Louis on Thursday for Game 3.
