Mark Scheifele To Return Tuesday
9 months agoWinnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele will return to the lineup when the team takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins on the road on Tuesday. The veteran has missed the past six games after sustaining a lower-body injury in a 2-1 win over the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 11. Scheifele has had additional time to heal given the team's recent bye week and All-Star break, keeping them out of action since Jan. 27. "The All-Star break came at a good time, so it was nice to get some rest and be ready to rock come Tuesday," Scheifele said. The Jets went 2-3-1 in his absence and have lost three straight overall. The 30-year-old has 14 goals and leads the team with 41 points across 41 games on the season. The Jets sit third in the Central Division with a 30-12-5 record on the season.
