It is a big loss for Winnipeg jets. While Nikolaj Ehlers still trains without contact, the jets have lost the services of Mark Scheifele for match 6 in St-Louis. And as it is on the road, in the image of course, Connor Hellebuyck will not “be travel”.
Obviously, the goalkeeper will be present. In fact, Hellebyuck has so much difficulty playing abroad in series that one wonders which version of him will stand against the blues. In the two outside games, Hellebuyck gave 5 and 6 goals to the Blues. Winnipeg will have to wish a great performance of his goalkeeper considering the absence of his captain in Mark Scheifele.
A sequence that lifts the discontent
It was in a situation that raised the ire of Scott Arniel that Mark Scheifele was injured. On the other hand, Jim Montgomery defends Brayden Schenn by saying that it is on another sequence that Scheifel was injured.
The first incident occurred during the first period of Match 5. Brayden Schenn brought along the ramp while Mark Scheifele was looking completely elsewhere. Lifting the feet of the ice, Schenn came to hit the shoulder all the same, which will cause the fall of Scheifel. If Brayden Schenn was called Tom Wilson, surely we would have a lot that would chip. Officials have awarded a minor punishment for obstruction.
-At the end of the first period, Scheifele was still caught not to look where he was going. It was Radek Faka’s shoulder that struck Scheifel directly in the chest. This time, no punishment on this defeat.
Chicane between the two coaches
These two sequences pushed Scheifele to leave the match. After the meeting, Jim Montgomery, the coach of the Blues, stipulated that the striker of the jets clearly injured the defeat of Faksa. Obviously, as Schenn’s feet had largely left the ice and Scheifele was in a vulnerable position, one could think that the league would look at the gesture. But as the shoulder is the initial contact point, there will be so. Montgomery clearly wanted to deviate from attention elsewhere than on this defeat. A strategy that did not please Scott Arniel of the Jets.
“I did not know that Monty had obtained his medicine diploma to try to explain how our player was injured. It is completely next to the plate. ” – Scott Arniel in front of the Mecredi media.
Here are the sequences in question:
