Mark Scheifele won’t mince words. Being away from his Winnipeg Jets teammates and the game he loves, well, it…

"Obviously, it sucks," said the Jets centre Sunday after practice. "Hopefully I can continue to make good progress out there tomorrow and be ready to play on Tuesday (against Arizona)

"I’m pain free. It’s feeling good, I feel confident on the ice and I just want to continue to feel better every day and get more and more into game shape and be ready for Tuesday."

The goal-starved Jets – they have just four goals in their last four games and have been held to a goal or less in 10 of their last 16 -- could certainly use him.
