Winnipeg Jets centre Mark Scheifele has been named the National Hockey League’s second star of the week.
Scheifele, 25, led the Jets to a comeback victory against the St. Louis Blues Oct. 22, with a four-point performance. He was also instrumental in Winnipeg’s win over the Detroit Red Wings Oct. 24, assisting on Kyle Connor’s game-tying goal.
This marks the fourth time Scheifele – currently on a five-game point streak and leading the team in points – has been recognized as one of the NHL’s weekly three stars. He’s the first Jets player to be recognized since the 2018-19 season began.
The Jets next see action Thursday afternoon against the Florida Panthers, as part of an NHL Global Series visit to Helsinki, Finland.
