Scheifele scored a goal on three shots Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele blasted a one-timer past Chicago netminder Robin Lehner from the top of the left circle to complete a Jets comeback from a 2-0 deficit. It was Scheifele's first goal since the season opener, but he's managed to hit the scoresheet in five of six games this season and ranks second on the Jets with eight points. The 26-year-old registered a career-high 38 goals and 84 points last season.

Scheifele recorded a pair of assists in a 5-2 win over the Wild on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
His two helpers in Thursday's win gave Scheifele seven in five games and brought him up to eight total points on the season. He's been starved for goals in the early going, but the 26-year-old has still found a way to contribute, collecting points in all but one game to begin the 2019-20 campaign.

Scheifele finished with three assists in Winnipeg's 4-1 win over the Penguins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele logged more minutes than any other Jets forward Tuesday night, playing 18:49 in the win. The three assists move him to six points in four games this season, and Scheifele should continue producing at a point-a-game pace in 2019-20 as long as he stays healthy. Last season, for the second time in Schiefele's career, he was able to play a full 82-game slate.

Scheifele picked up two assists in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
He was one of the sparkplugs in the Jets' impressive comeback from a 4-0 deficit, helping to set up Dmitry Kulikov late in the second period for Winnipeg's first goal of the night and then dishing the puck to Neal Pionk for the tying goal in the third. Scheifele has scored at a point-a-game pace in each of the last three seasons, and with a goal and two helpers through the first two games of 2019-20, he's right back at it again.

Scheifele scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-4 defeat over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele appears to have picked up right where he left off, having notched a career-high 38 goals last season. The center logged 24:08 of ice time, which included 5:35 with the man advantage, and should continue to be one of the focal points of the Jets' attack.

Scheifele will not be heading to Slovakia for the 2019 IIHF World Championship, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele set new career highs this season in goals (38), points (84) and power-play points (23), but couldn't prevent his team from falling in the first round of the playoffs. With two 80-plus point campaigns in his last three seasons, and the other being cut short by injury, there is little reason to doubt the center won't get back to the 80-point mark in 2019-20.

Scheifele scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's Game 4 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele picked his corner and wristed a shot past Jordan Binnington to tie the game in the third period and help sent it to overtime. In the extra frame, the Ontario native picked up a rebound and dished it to Kyle Connor, who was waiting on top of the crease to knock it home. Scheifele now has five points through four playoff games. The Jets tied the series 2-2 and appear to have the momentum as they head back to their home barn.

Scheifele earned an assist and a plus-2 rating with two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Blues in Game 3 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele has three points and eight PIM in three games during the series, having gotten involved in a shoving match with Blues' defenseman Alex Pietrangelo late in the third period Sunday. Jets fans would prefer their star center spend less time in the sin bin, but it helps the cause in fantasy formats.

Scheifele scored a power-play goal and added an assist and four PIM in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues in Game 2 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele's time in the sin bin didn't hurt the Jets -- Oskar Sundqvist's opening goal for the Blues came at 4-on-4 -- but Scheifele has now taken three minor penalties in two games. He had 38 PIM and 84 points in 82 regular-season games, so it's a little unusual to see him drawing the ire of the officials so frequently, not that fantasy owners will mind a little extra production outside of the scoring categories.

Scheifele posted two points -- a goal and an assist -- in Saturday's win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele tied his previous career high of 82 points in his last game, and he outright eclipsed it in the season finale to bring him to 38 goals and 84 points on the season. A large part of Scheifele's success is because of his work on the power play, where he has 12 tallies and 11 helpers this season. The Blues provide a tough postseason matchup, as they've allowed the least goals per game (1.74) since the calendar flipped to 2019.
