Will be ready for 2020-21 Scheifele (leg) told reporters he won't need surgery and anticipates being 100 percent for the 2020-21 campaign, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Scheifele ended the regular season with six goals and eight helpers in his final 11 games, helping him reach the 70-point mark for the second straight year. Assuming he's fully fit, the world-class center should continue being a top point producer for the Jets and an elite-level fantasy option.

Avoids serious injury Scheifele (leg) apparently didn't suffer a significant injury, as coach Paul Maurice told reporters, "We don't think there's any Achilles damage," Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Fre...
Impact Scheifele still needs to undergo additional testing, however, early indications are he avoided tearing his Achilles. As long as there isn't any significant damage, the world-class center figures to be ready to go for the start of the 2020-21 campaign. Considering he topped the 70-point mark in each of the previous two campaigns, season-long fantasy players should be looking at Scheifele early in their drafts.

Will sit out Thursday Scheifele (leg) did not take warmups and will not play in Thursday's Game 4 versus the Flames, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Scheifele did not participate in the morning skate, so his absence is no surprise. If the Jets stave off elimination Thursday, it's unclear if Scheifele will be able to play Saturday in a potential Game 5. Andrew Copp is likely to continue in a top-line role during Scheifele's absence.

Absent from morning skate Scheifele (leg) was deemed unfit to practice for Thursday's game-day skate.
Impact While the Jets' haven't officially ruled Scheifele out for Thursday's Game 4 clash with Calgary, the fact that he wasn't able to take part in the morning skate doesn't bode well for a return to action. If the world-class center remains unavailable versus the Flames, Andrew Copp figures to continue playing on the top line with Kyle Connor and Blake Wheeler.

Not expected Tuesday Scheifele (leg) isn't on the ice for warmups and is not expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Flames, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Scheifele remains sidelined after the nasty hit he took in Game 1, although the diagnosis was positive, it's unclear when the forward could return to the lineup. In his stead, look for Andrew Copp to draw into the lineup as the team's top-line center.

Out against Flames Scheifele (leg) will miss Monday's Game 2 clash with Calgary as expected, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Scheifele's absence shouldn't come as a surprise, though TSN's Frank Seravalli reports the center suffered no Achilles damage. The team won't provide much in terms of updates on the Ontario native's status, and it seems unlikely he'll be ready to go for Tuesday's Game 3.
