<p class="" data-start="201" data-end="448">The Winnipeg Jets will be without their top-line centre Mark Scheifele in Game 6 of their first-round series against the St. Louis Blues. The veteran forward will not travel with the team to Missouri, head coach Scott Arniel confirmed on Thursday.</p>
<p class="" data-start="450" data-end="776">Scheifele left Game 5 after the first period and did not return. He was on the receiving end of two heavy hits — the first from Blues captain Brayden Schenn along the boards, which resulted in an interference penalty, and the second from Radek Faksa, who caught Scheifele with a massive open-ice collision later in the opening period.</p>
<p class="" data-start="778" data-end="875">The Jets went on to win Game 5 by a score of 5–3 at Canada Life Centre, taking a 3–2 series lead into St. Louis.</p>
<p class="" data-start="877" data-end="966">&#8220;He won’t be coming on the trip,&#8221; Arniel told reporters,</p>
<p class="" data-start="968" data-end="1269">Scheifele, a native of Kitchener, Ontario, has six points in the series and is a major key piece of Winnipeg&#8217;s offence. With him out, veteran Vladislav Namestnikov was elevated to the top line and made an immediate impact, scoring late in the second period to give Winnipeg a two-goal lead heading into the final frame.</p>
