In breaking news, Mark Scheifele may not be available for the Winnipeg Jets' next matchup.

Schiefele Suffers Scary Head Injury That Could Keep Him Out



During the Jets 5-0 nothing victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets last night, Mark Scheifele suffered a scary head injury after a puck was deflected up into the side of his head. He was forced to leave the game.




Scheifele did not return to the game, as the Jets were winning handily and the incident occurred in the third period. However, Scheifele did return, helmet off, to the ice to celebrate the win with his team.

It remains to be seen if Scheifele will be available for the Jets matchup tomorrow. While there have been no official announcements, reports that Scheifele's injury is not serious have surfaced.



Further details to come as the Jets will have to release their starting lineup at some point tomorrow, or Scheifle returns for the pre-game skate.
