Scheifele scored a goal and added three apples in a 5-1 preseason victory over Edmonton on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sheifele's four-point performance has got to bring excitement to Jets' fans as the 23-year-old seems ready for a breakout campaign. The playmaking center has improved his point totals by at least 10 each of the past three seasons and is coming off a near point-per-game campaign last year.

Scheifele will lineup on Team North America's number one power-play unit for the World Cup of Hockey, Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele will be on the ice with the man advantage alongside Jack Eichel, Connor McDavid, Brandon Saad, and Aaron Ekblad in what could be one of the most exciting squads to watch for the tournament. The 23-year-old Scheifele may not be as highly touted as some of his teammates, despite logging 29 goals and 61 assists last season, but will have every opportunity to put his talents on display and show fans and fantasy owners alike why he was taken seventh overall in the 2011 NHL Draft.

Scheifele finalized an eight-year, $49 million deal with the Jets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele's new deal carries an average annual value of $6.125 million and locks him in until he turns 31 years old. The center has increased his point production every season on his way to another career high (61) during the 2015-16 campaign. In addition to being lights out at even strength, the 23-year-old notched seven goals and four helpers with the man advantage. If Scheifele is available, especially in dynasty leagues, fantasy owners will want to seriously consider snatching him up early.

Scheifele was extended a qualifying offer, making him a restricted free agent, Gary Lawless of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele has spent his entire five-year career with the Jets and is coming off a breakout season where he set career-highs in goals (29) and points (61). He's only expected to get better in his sixth season, where he'd likely take on an even greater role for the Jets. The Jets will be able to match any offer that Scheifele receives on the open market, so there's a very high chance he remains with the team that drafted him seventh overall in the 2011 draft.

Scheifele set career-highs in goals (29) and points (61) while playing 71 games in the 2015-16 season.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele was the franchise's first draft pick after they relocated to Winnipeg when he was selected seventh overall in 2011, and he showed star potential throughout his third full-season in the NHL. After serving mostly as a third-line center in his first two seasons, Scheifele established himself as the team's bona fide No. 1 center thanks to his 17 goals and 38 points in the last 34 games of the season. Look for the 23-year-old to continue to blossom in an enhanced role next season.

Scheifele tallied a pair of power-play goals and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele's three-point night helped Winnipeg overcome a two goal deficit, including the game-tying goal with less than half of the third period remaining. The center is red hot as he is currently riding a nine-game scoring streak in which he has registered six scores and eight helpers. The Jets are back in action Saturday against the Kings and the 23-year-old is certainly worth looking at for your daily lineup.

Scheifele scored Winnipeg's lone goal in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele has come on of late, with three goals and four assists in his last five games. His 26 goals in 66 games are just two less than he had in 155 appearances entering 2015-16, but this should be the first of many 20-goal campaigns for the well-rounded 23-year-old.

Scheifele tallied a goal and an assist in Monday's loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele also saw 23:09 worth of ice time in this one, nearly five full minutes up from his season average. The 23-year-old has been red hot with six points in the last four games and has already eclipsed the 50-point mark, so keep him plugged into your lineup with confidence.

Scheifele picked up a pair of assists, a plus-2 rating and two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele was able to pick up just his third multi-assist outing of the year, albeit a campaign riddled with injuries. The 23-year-old has still managed 49 points to date, tying his career high set just last season. The 2011 first-round pick will notch a new milestone, and the center continues to show fantasy owners what he's capable of when healthy.

Scheifele added an empty-net goal late in the third period of Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from the goal, the 23-year-old also took six shots on net, blocked a shot, and finished with a rating of plus-1. Scheifele has two goals in the last five games, and his 24 on the season is already a new career high. With 47 total points, he is approaching his career-high 49 points, set last season.
