The Winnipeg Jets were playing with heavy hearts on Saturday even before they lost to the Dallas Stars because star Mark Scheifele's father Brad had died unexpectedly the night before.
Scheifele chose to play, scored the game's opening goal in the second period and hauled down Sam Steel to prevent a breakaway in the final 15 seconds of the third period with the score tied 1-1.
Scheifele was sitting in the penalty box when Dallas' Thomas Harley scored in overtime, ending the Jets' season.
Players streamed over to comfort Scheifele after the game.
