Winnipeg Jets coach Scott Arniel confirmed that star center Mark Scheifele will not travel for Game 6 against the St. Louis Blues due to an injury sustained in Game 5. Scheifele missed the latter part of the game after a hit from Blues captain Brayden Schenn, followed by another check from Radek Faksa. Arniel expressed hope for Scheifele's recovery, stating they are taking a day-to-day approach. The incident has sparked debate around player safety and the response from officials when injuries occur during intense moments of gameplay.
In light of the authority figure's communication with the officials, it raises questions about the league's player safety protocols, particularly in the context of immediate injuries sustained during the game.
The injuries sustained by players during high-contact moments are not just a matter of physicality but also bring into question the measures taken to ensure ongoing player safety throughout the game.
