Jets' Scheifele Out for Game 6 After Injury

Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele will not travel with the team for Game 6 against the St. Louis Blues due to an undisclosed injury sustained in Game 5. Scheifele exited after the first period following significant hits from Brayden Schenn and Radek Faksa, leading to a heated debate between Jets coach Scott Arniel and Blues coach Jim Montgomery regarding which hit caused the injury. Arniel criticized the officiating and argued Schenn's hit deserved a harsher penalty, while Montgomery attributed the injury to Faksa's clean hit. Despite losing their top center, the Jets claimed a 5-3 victory and a 3-2 series lead. The incident has heightened concerns about player safety and officiating as tensions rise between the teams. Game 6 is scheduled for Friday in St. Louis, with the Jets aiming to close out the series.
