The Winnipeg Jets held a media availability on Sunday morning in advance of their practice to prepare for Game 2 with the Calgary Flames. The Jets? Well, they’re still pretty unhappy about the injury to Mark Scheifele after he got tangled up with Matthew Tkachuk on Saturday night.
Maurice declined to confirm that Scheifele’s injury is a cut, though he, Adam Lowry and Neal Pionk referenced a cut in their comments to the media.
A league spokesman confirmed to the Nation Network on Sunday morning that no supplemental discipline hearing for Tkachuk was scheduled.
Under league rules, the NHL can impose supplemental discipline on any play – a penalty isn’t required. But barring new information coming to light, a potentially reckless play by Tkachuk on a very fast sequence – he admittedly was going too fast and crashed into the boards while trying to keep up with Scheifele – seemingly doesn’t meet the NHL’s threshold for supplemental action.
