Overview

  • Winnipeg Jets star Mark Scheifele will not play in Game 6 due to an undisclosed injury sustained in Game 5, confirmed by head coach Scott Arniel.
  • Scheifele, who has six points in the series, was injured following hits by Brayden Schenn and Radek Faksa, sparking a public disagreement between the teams' head coaches about the cause of the injury.
  • The Jets, already without forward Nikolaj Ehlers due to a right foot injury, may elevate Vladislav Namestnikov to the top line as they adjust their lineup.
  • St. Louis Blues aim to extend their 14-game home winning streak, with all previous games in the series won by the home team.
  • Game 6 offers Winnipeg a chance to clinch the series and advance to the second round for the first time since 2021, while St. Louis looks to force a decisive Game 7.
