The Winnipeg Jets face a tough uphill climb in their quest for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. A recent shoulder injury to centre Mark Scheifele only adds to the long list of injuries the team has experienced in the regular season and throughout the hard-hitting series against the Vegas Golden Knights. If the Jets don’t recover soon, it may be the end of their playoff hopes. However, Jets head coach Rick Bowness remains hopeful that Scheifele will be re-evaluated before the team’s next game on Thursday. Despite the mounting injuries, team captain Blake Wheeler believes the Jets can still win with the bodies they have available. The Golden Knights, on the other hand, are showing off incredible depth in their roster, with all four lines contributing offensively. Additionally, goaltender Laurent Brossoit has been providing steady goaltending for the Golden Knights, neutralizing any perceived advantage that the Jets may have had in their goaltending matchup. With their backs against the wall, the Jets need to come up with a proper approach to win their next game and keep their playoff dream alive.
