Scheifele uncertain for G6 after death of father
Briefly

Mark Scheifele, star forward for the Winnipeg Jets, faces uncertainty regarding his participation in Game 6 against the Dallas Stars following the unexpected death of his father, Brad Scheifele. Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff delivered the news emotionally, emphasizing the organization's support for Mark and his family during this difficult time. Head coach Scott Arniel returned to discuss the situation with Mark. Scheifele has been performing well in the playoffs, contributing significantly to the team's efforts, but the personal tragedy casts a shadow on his future availability as the Jets aim to stay in the postseason.
As an organization we're doing everything we can to support him and give his family our most sincere condolences. And obviously (we) ask that everybody respect his and their privacy at this time.
It's too early to say if the 32-year-old forward would play in the team's pivotal game on Saturday night.
