Report: Scheifele's injury not serious, but doubtful for Thursday

Mark Scheifele appears to have avoided another major injury.

The Winnipeg Jets center is reportedly doubtful to play Thursday against New Jersey, but an upper-body injury suffered Tuesday in New York isn't believed to be serious, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Scheifele missed 16 games with an upper-body injury earlier this season, but head coach Paul Maurice said the latest ailment is not related.

Through 50 games, Scheifele has recorded 21 goals and 30 assists.

An official update is expected prior to Thursday's tilt with the Devils.
