Scheifele missed practice Wednesday with an illness, but figures to suit up against the Islanders on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite Scheifele racking up 16 points in his last 12 outings, the Jets find themselves 10 points back from securing a Wild Card spot. If they are going to make a late push, the center will certainly need to maintain -- or even improve -- his 1.03 point per game average.
