Scheifele a Quiet Piece in Winnipeg’s Road Win
No points but his ice time and chance-driving on-ice numbers accompanied the Jets’ 3-2 victory in Pittsburgh
Mark Scheifele had a quiet night for the Winnipeg centre in the Jets’ 3-2 road win. He finished with no goals and no assists, skating 21:18 across 22 shifts and ranking 4th among team skaters in ice time and 2nd among forwards. Scheifele registered 3 shots on goal, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot, with 2 giveaways and 0 takeaways. By strength, his production was split: 2 shots on goal at even strength and 1 on the power play; he had no empty-net contributions. Through three games this season he’s yet to score (0 goals, 0 assists, 0 points) but his season on-ice numbers show the Jets have generated more chances with him on the ice (an on-ice expected-goals percentage of 62.8% and 34 high-danger chances for vs 21 against). Tonight’s line was quiet on the scoresheet but mirrored his season pattern of chance-driving without finishing.
