The Winnipeg Jets forced a Game 6 in the Western Conference semifinal series after defeating the Dallas Stars 4-0. Mark Scheifele scored a goal and played a crucial role despite the emotional turmoil following the unexpected death of his father, Brad Scheifele, just hours before the game. Scheifele's goal, his fifth of the playoffs, gave the Jets an early lead, but he also received a penalty late in regulation that contributed to the Stars' overtime victory, ending Winnipeg's playoff run. The game was emotionally charged, with Scheifele receiving support from teammates and opponents alike, and he was visibly affected during pregame warmups and the national anthem. Jets captain Adam Lowry emphasized the team's unity and support for Scheifele during this difficult time. The series saw intense moments, including a trip by Scheifele that led to a Stars' power-play goal in overtime. The Jets' season concluded with a 2-1 loss in overtime, with Thomas Harley scoring the decisive goal. Scheifele, who missed part of the first-round series due to injury, finished with 11 points in 11 playoff games. The circumstances surrounding his father's death remain undisclosed, and the hockey community expressed their condolences and pride in Scheifele's resilience.
