Winnipeg Jets star forward Mark Scheifele, who suffered an upper-body injury in the team's loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night, is day-to-day and could suit up for Game 5 with the Jets facing elimination.

Scheifele left in the first period of Game 4 because of the injury. The Jets lost 4-2 to fall behind 3-1 in their first-round Western Conference playoff series.

"I just talked to Mark and he is feeling better than he did [Monday] night," Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness told reporters Tuesday. "So, he's definitely [considered] day-to-day. Let's put him in the hopeful category for Thursday."
