Scheifele managed a goal, two assists and a plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 win against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele has turned in multi-point efforts in back-to-back games, and six of his 14 outings in the month of January. He also has two goals and four points in two meetings with the Blues this season, so DFS players should remember that for the next two meetings March 3 and April 4.

Scheifele contributed a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele capped the scoring in this one while re-tying rookie Patrik Laine for the team lead with 22 goals after Laine had nudged back ahead with his first-period tally. The 23-year-old forward has accrued 48 points in 49 games, putting him on pace to blow last season's career-best 61 points out of the water while improving both his point and goal totals for the fourth consecutive campaign.

Scheifele scored the game-winning goal and set up the game's opening goal on the power play in Saturday's 5-3 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
His point streak stands at four games and six points, including two goals. Scheifele's breakout season is in full progress and he's wheeling along at a point-per-game pace (21 goals, 24 assists in 46 games). Exactly how good is he? Scheifele has not been held off the scoresheet for more than two straight games this season and he has picked up points in nine of his last 11 (six goals, seven assists).

Scheifele scored a goal and added an assist during Monday's loss to San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
After a torrid finish to 2015-16 (48 points through 46 games), a lot was expected of Scheifele entering this season, and he's been outstanding. He's registered six goals and 14 points through his past 14 games to improve his season-long totals to 20 tallies, 42 points and 96 shots through 44 games. Scheifele has emerged as a high-end fantasy asset in all settings.

Scheifele scored two goals -- one on the power play -- during Wednesday's loss to Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
With 19 goals and 39 points through 41 games, Scheifele is proving to be a coveted scorer in the real and virtual game. He's flashed high-end offensive ability for stretches in the past, but he's well above the point-per-game mark dating back to December of last season with 40 goals and 87 points through his past 85 games. Even with his noteworthy results, there is still a chance Scheifele is underrated in some fantasy circles, so don't be shy to inquire about his services in seasonal and dynasty/keeper formats.

Scheifele snagged his third helper in his last three contest against the Canucks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets are currently on a roll -- three wins in their last four -- thanks in no small part to Scheifele who has managed five points since returning from injury. If Winnipeg are going to make a push for the postseason, they will need all hands on deck, including the 23-year-old. The center has 14 goals and 17 assists on the year, but no doubt fantasy owners would like to see more production on the power play where he has a mere five points despite averaging over three minutes of ice time per night with the man advantage.

Scheifele (undisclosed) will be back in action against the Rangers on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele had three points in as many contests prior to picking up this ailment and is averaging a point per game so far this season. When in the lineup, the center is logging 20:32 of ice time per night, including 3:32 on the power play. With the man advantage, the 23-year-old has just three goals and two helpers which is arguably the only knock on Scheifele's 2016-17 campaign.

Scheifele (undisclosed) will not play Tuesday night versus the Red Wings, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The punchy pivot will sit out a third straight game with the mystery ailment. Winnipeg is fortunate to have squeaked out a pair of wins despite the absence of Scheifele, who is average a point per game (13 goals, 13 assists) in his sixth year at the NHL level. Bryan Little will continue manning the the top-line center spot with the 23-year-old Scheifele still ailing.

Scheifele (undisclosed) will not dress for Sunday's game against the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Scheifele was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup due to the undisclosed issue, and the star forward will sit out again Sunday because of it. A star forward and core member of the power play, the Jets will be without some firepower as they take on some tough competition, while fantasy owners will be hard pressed to find a replacement that can produce nearly as well. Scheifele's next chance to return to the lineup now comes Tuesday when Winnipeg hosts Detroit.

Scheifele (lower body) did not take the ice for pregame warmups and is inactive for Saturday's matchup with the Blues, Sara Orlesky of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It remains unclear how Scheifele sustained his current ailment but it apparently severe enough to force him out of NHL action. The 23-year-old notched 18 points in the month of November along with an efficient 24.3 shot percentage. The Jets play Sunday against the Blackhawks and Scheifele should be considered questionable for that one.
