Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele (55) is consoled by his teammates after his team lost 2-1 in overtime to the Dallas Stars in game six of the second round of the NHL playoffs on May 17. Scheifele’s father Brad, 50, died on the eve of the game. With the Jets trailing 3-2 in the series, Scheifele suited up for his team, scoring the game’s first goal. However, with the game tied 1-1 late in the third period, Scheifele took the game’s only penalty. Dallas took advantage of the penalty and scored in overtime, eliminating the Jets, who had won the President’s Trophy for the best regular-season record in the league.
