Just 3 days after the Winnipeg Jets had placed captain Blake Wheeler in COVID-19 protocol, they've done the same with alternate captain Mark Scheifele.

DFO's Frank Seravalli had reported on Wednesday that the Jets were awaiting lab results to confirm whether or not there were other players on the team who had tested positive for the virus.

A subsequent report on Wednesday suggested that the majority of the roster had been cleared and would be eligible to suit up against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. Unfortunately, Scheifele will not be among them.

Scheifele has appeared in 2 games for the Jets, recording a pair of assists this season.
