Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets recently suffered an injury scare. On Friday, he received an important injury update, via Sara Orlesky.

“Mark Scheifele is day-to-day with a lower body injury,” Orlesky wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Scheifele, 30, signed a contract extension early this season with Winnipeg. He is a pivotal player for the Jets to say the least. Barring any setbacks, it appears that Scheifele will be alright.

So far in 2023-24, Scheifele has recorded 14 goals and 27 assists for 41 points. His shooting percentage sits at a mark of 14.9 as of this story's writing. The two-time All-Star is hoping to return as soon as possible.

The Jets most recently earned a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago was dealing with injuries of their own in the game, and Winnipeg emerged victorious.
