For the second straight post-season, Mark Scheifele watched the Winnipeg Jets‘ Stanley Cup hopes come to an end from the sidelines.
“It’s not fun. It’s definitely not a great feeling. You feel pretty helpless when your team’s out there battling and you’re watching from the stands,” he told reporters during Wednesday’s media availability after the Jets were swept by the Montreal Canadiens. “But the way you handle setbacks is what defines us. So, that’s the mentality I’m taking.”

Nick Foligno, the Toronto Maple Leafs big trade deadline aquisition made his Maple Leafs debut after his seven day quarantine ended just in time for him to make the trip to Winnipeg.
Foligno started his Leafs career on a line with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews and the trio did well to start the game as Marner sent up Matthews the puck and Auston would score his 34th goal of the season just 27 seconds into the game.
The second line takes the ice and Wayne Simmonds scores his seventh of the season.
