When we heard the terrible news from Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff today indicating that Mark Scheifele‘s dad, Brad had passed away last night, hockey was a secondary consideration.

We were expecting an update when Jets head coach Scott Arneil spoke today in Dallas where he has now confirmed to the media in attendance that Mark Scheifele will play in tonight’s Game 6 against the Stars.
Via Murat Ates of The Athletic Winnipeg we got this quote:
“Mark really wants to play for him tonight.”
Puck drop is at 7 PM CDT. Join us after the game on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show.
