Laine, Scheifele out for Game 2 vs. Flames
The Winnipeg Jets will be severely shorthanded as they look to even their qualifying-round series with the Calgary Flames on Monday.
Superstars Patrik Laine and Mark Scheifele, who both suffered injuries in Game 1, are unavailable to play, according to Sportsnet's Ken Wiebe.
Here's a look at the Jets' lines for the pivotal contest.
Scheifele, normally the first-line center, was injured in the opening period of Game 1 after a collision with Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk. The Jets sniper was helped off the ice and didn't return, but he reportedly didn't suffer major damage after he was nicked by an errant skate blade.
Laine was slashed in the wrist area later in the contest. The specifics of his injury and when he may return are unclear.
The Jets lost the opener of the best-of-five series 4-1.
