The Winnipeg Jets organization is doing something so classy for Mark Scheifele and his family following their tough loss, as players will be flown to the funeral. As Mark Scheifele exited the penalty box <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/winnipeg-jets-captain-adam-lowry-makes-a-statement-after-heartbreaking-overtime-loss-in-game-6' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>during overtime Saturday,</a> a sea of hugs from his Winnipeg Jets teammates greeted him. It was a show of solidarity with their prized center, who played only a day after his father, Brad Scheifele, passed away unexpectedly. A few hours down the road, the Jets' season ended in tragedy. <h3>Despite Scheifele scoring the Jets only goal of the game, they lost</h3> Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley won it in overtime on the power play, while Scheifele was in the box, having been sent off for tripping with 15 seconds to go in regulation time. As the Stars lined up to shake hands, Scheifele came across Connor Hellebuyck and planted his face into the goaltender's shoulder. The Jets learned of the death of Brad Scheifele Saturday morning at American Airlines Center. Head coach Scott Arniel took the team back to the hotel to talk to Scheifele in person. A couple of hours prior to game time, Arniel announced Scheifele would suit up for Game 6. He gave it everything he had on the ice. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/player/mark-scheifele-8476460' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Scheifele</a> wanted to honor his father by helping the Jets advance to the conference final since 2018. He played with fire but watched the evening end in disappointment. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/status/1924836528208924822'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/status/1924850467038728230'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Do anything I can to be there for him. - Josh Morrissey <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1924860618831540570'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> His team continues to rally around him.
