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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Scheifele (personal) will be in the lineup for Game 6 against Dallas on Saturday, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele's father, Brad, unexpectedly passed away Friday night, but the Winnipeg forward believes his dad would've wanted him to be on the ice with his teammates. The 32-year-old Scheifele has earned four goals and 10 points through 10 contests this postseason. In Saturday's matchup against the Stars, he will skate on the top line and see time on the first power-play unit.

Scheifele (personal) is questionable for Game 6 against Dallas on Saturday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
EDGE Analysis
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.

EDGE Analysis
Scheifele's tally at 6:17 of the second period stood as the game-winner in the shutout. He also helped out on Nikolaj Ehlers' goal early in the third. Scheifele has two goals and two assists over five games in the second round. The center is at four goals, 10 points, 21 shots on net, 12 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 10 appearances this postseason.

Scheifele logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele has opened the second round with two points, 10 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over two contests. He helped out on a Nikolaj Ehlers tally in the first period of Friday's game. Overall, Scheifele has contributed three goals, five helpers, 16 shots, 10 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating over seven playoff outings. He doesn't look rusty after missing the last two games of the first round due to an upper-body injury.

Scheifele scored a goal on seven shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Stars in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele missed the last two games of the first round due to an upper-body injury. He looks to be fully back, as he logged 22:36 of ice time and also won 18 of 28 faceoffs in this contest. Scheifele has three goals, four assists, 13 shots on net, 10 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating over six playoff outings, so he'll be a major factor on offense as the Jets look to bounce back from this series-opening loss.

Scheifele (upper body) is expected to play versus the Stars in Wednesday's Game 1, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Scheifele (undisclosed) won't play in Game 7 against St. Louis on Sunday, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele will miss his second straight game and will need his teammates to win to give him a chance to return this postseason. He has generated two goals, four assists, six shots on net, three blocked shots and nine hits through five appearances during Winnipeg's first-round series versus the Blues. Due to Scheifele's absence, Vladislav Namestnikov will remain on the team's top line for Sunday's matchup.

Scheifele (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision against St. Louis on Sunday in Game 7, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele sat out Friday's 5-2 loss to the Blues after getting hurt in Wednesday's 5-3 victory in Game 5. However, he feels better after skating on his own Saturday. Scheifele has accounted for two goals and four assists in five appearances this postseason. 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.
