April 21, 2025; Winnipeg, Manitoba, Can; The Winnipeg Jets Mark Scheifele Center (55) is ready to block the St. Louis Blues Philip Broof Defense (6) in the second period in the game two of the first round of the Stanley 2025 Cup playoffs. The visitors Winnipeg Jets will take the ice without one of their best players when they try to close their first round of the West Conference against the St. Louis Blues with a victory in game 6 on Friday night.
Mark Scheife was injured in the first period of a 5-3 victory by Winnipeg in game 5 Wednesday. He received a thunderous blow from the Bluesden center about about six minutes in the game, which resulted in an interference penalty in Schenn, followed by the penalties that coincide with Schenn and Brandon Tanev of the Jets.
Scheifele finished the first period but did not return for the second. It is considered day by day.
The first -line center was the second in the jets in goals (39) and points (87) duration of the regular season and has six points (two goals, four assists) in five playoff games.
The teams are especially monitored with their duration of information in the postseason, and the Jets coach Scott Arniel, was no exception. When asked on Thursday if Scheifele was in the Bill Shock Protocol, Arniel said: “I am not going that path.”
Vladislav Namestnikov Tok Scheifele in the upper line in game 5 and produced a goal and an assistance in the second period.
“It is not a guy who needs to fill Mark’s shoes. It must all be,” said the jet striker Kyle Connor. “Vladdy, has been excellent for the entire series, and a couple of opportunities here and could have some better results. You see it (in game 5). It leads to the network, all the hard areas play very well, defend well and those gosy, it is AAAAA to read Le Atiously” “” “” “” “” “.
Blues expect a return to St. Louis to provide the same impulse he made for games 3 and 4.
St. Louis dropped two closed games in Winnipeg to start the series, then exploded for 7-2 and 5-1 victories at home.
“They obtained the best (in game 5), but we have game 6 at home and a job to do,” said St. Louis’s defense Justin Faulk.
The blues will undoubtedly try to put more records on the network. They had only nine shots on the door during the first two periods of game 5, harming their chances of obtaining a past Connor Hellebuyck, the probable winner of the time trophy this season.
St. Louis coach Jim Montgomery said that the team also needs to play more connected, support the album better, return to the fastest and louder -faster defense.
“They are all facets, but you know what, it’s a series. It will happen,” said Montgomery. “Unfortunately, we are not happy with that, but we are in the next. It’s like that. We have to forget it. We are in a series.”
The Jets hope to continue defending well, the one planned with intention and get in the line of the goalkeeper of St. Louis Jordan Binnington.
“Obviously, we now put Ourelves in the driver’s seat to go to St. Louis,” said Jet striker, Mason Appleton. “Hopefully, we close this series, but we know how good they are at home and what we have to do. That was our best game of the series (in game 5), and we have to duplicate that.”
