Jets at Blues Game 6
Jets lead series 3-2
Series odds: Jets -500, Blues +375
The Jets are back in the lead after a 5-3 Game 5 win at home, but will be without star forward Mark Scheifele in St. Louis as they try to clinch their spot in the second round.
Scheifele took hard hits from Brayden Schenn and Radek Faksa in the first period of Game 5 and did not return for the rest for the second or third. He did not join the team to St. Louis.

Jets coach Scott Arniel and Blues coach Jim Montgomery exchanged a war of words about the hits following Wednesday’s game.
“Let’s make it clear: No. 55 (Scheifele) got hurt from the Faksa hit,” Montgomery said. “He played six minutes after the Schenn hit. He didn’t come back after he got rocked by Faksa.”
To which Arniel responded: “I didn’t know Monty got his medical degree, trying to say how our player got hurt. He’s way off base,” said Arniel.
The Jets’ depth players stepped up in Scheifele’s absence, and likely Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck got a much-needed win after two dismal performances.
Can the Blues bounce back at home and force Game 7? Jeremy Rutherford says it wouldn’t be a surprise, given the way the Blues’ season turned out, but they have some cleaning up to do first.
