Jets' Mark Scheifele Suspended 4 Games for Hit on Canadiens' Jake Evans
Unless the Winnipeg Jets force a Game 6, Mark Scheifele won't see the ice again this season.
The forward was suspended four games for charging Montreal forward Jake Evans in Game 1 on Wednesday, the league announced. Evans, who was taken down by Scheifele after scoring an empty-net goal, had to be stretchered off in the final minute of play.
