Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said the organization was doing everything it can to support Scheifele.

The father of Winnipeg Jets top center Mark Scheifele has died unexpectedly. The team said hours before Game 6 of its second-round playoff series at Dallas on Saturday night that Brad Scheifele died overnight.

The Winnipeg Jets are looking to keep their second-round playoff series going against the Dallas Stars. Heading into Game 6, the Jets will need to win a road playoff game, something that they haven't done all postseason.
