Emily Kaplan, national NHL reporter: I'll take Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets. Earlier in the season, I polled a bunch of players about who they believed was the most underrated player in the league. One Central Division opponent initially identified Scheifele, then voided his answer. "I would say Scheifele," he said. "But I think everyone in the league knows he's been good for some time." I firmly believe Scheifele would have entered the crowded MVP race this year had he not missed a chunk of time because of injury. Any time I watch a Jets game, he stands out.
Who will be the MVP of the Predators-Jets series?
