Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele has been suspended
four games for his hit on the Montreal Canadiens’ Jake Evans in Game 1 of their first-round series that resulted in Evans leaving on a stretcher.
The NHL Department of Player Safety made the announcement Thursday night, keeping Scheifele out until at least Game 6 of this series. Should the Canadiens wrap up the series in four games, before Scheifele s suspension is through, the final game of his suspension will carry over to next regular season.
Scheifele skated with speed – nearly covering the length of the ice – and connected with a defenseless Evans, who did not see Scheifele coming after having just scored an empty-net goal on a wraparound to give Montreal a 5-3 lead.

Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Jack Campbell was distraught after the Montreal Canadiens series-clinching 3-1 victory in Game 7 on Monday night.
A shot from Brendan Gallagher squeezed through his legs to give the Canadiens a 1-0 lead in the second period and Montreal went on to complete a comeback from a 3-1 series deficit. It’s just tough, Campbell said in near tears. I just think of how hard our team battled and for it to end on the worst goal of my career, to happen in Game 7, is not acceptable.
Though the shot was one that Campbell would like back, goaltending was not the issue during the Maple Leafs collapse that kept them from their first playoff series victory since 2004.
