Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele’s injury is not believed to be long term, TSN’s Sara Orlesky reports.
Scheifele remains doubtful for Monday’s Game 2 against the Calgary Flames.
The 27-year-old appeared to suffer a left leg injury when he went awkwardly into the boards after getting tangled up with Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk in the first period of Saturday’s Game 1.
Following the game, Jets head coach Paul Maurice called the hit an attempt to injure his player.
"It was intentional, it was a filthy, dirty kick to the back of the leg.” Maurice told the media. “You can’t see it on the program feed, but take the blueline feed and you zoom in, he went after the back of his leg. Could’ve cut his Achilles, could’ve ended the man’s career. It’s an absolutely filthy, disgusting hit.”
When asked about his involvement in the play, Tkachuk denied that he had any intentions to hurt Scheifele.
"No, absolutely not,” Tkachuk said after the game. “You know what, I’m back-checking on him and it’s such an accident and I felt terrible.”
Jets forward Patrik Laine is also doubtful for Monday’s contest.
