Winnipeg forward Mark Scheifele will not play in Game 6 when the Jets hope to eliminate the St. Louis Blues with a road victory.
Speaking today during a media availability at the Winnipeg airport, head coach Scott Arniel says that Scheifele would not be travelling south with the team.
Scheifele took two punishing bodychecks in Winnipeg’s 5-3 home win over the Blues a night earlier. He did not return after the first intermission.
The top-line centre, who has six points in the series, recorded 87 points (39-48) in the regular season.
Arniel did not provide specifics on the injury or a timeline for when Scheifele might return.
The Jets are one victory away from advancing to the second round for the first time since 2021. If a deciding seventh game is required, it will be played Sunday at Canada Life Centre.
