The Winnipeg Jets won't have forward Mark Scheifele in the lineup on Friday night when they hope to eliminate the St. Louis Blues with a Game 6 road victory.

Jets coach Scott Arniel said Thursday that star center Mark Scheifele will not travel with team ahead of Game 6 against the Blues.

Scheifele, the Jets’ center on their top line, took a couple of big hits in the first period, including one from Blues captain Brayden Schenn along the boards at 6:12. Scheifele remained in the game and Schenn was called for interference and roughing and Jets forward Brandon Tanev was called for roughing to give the Jets a power play.
