Scheifele is in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.

A few days after it was announced that Blake Wheeler tested positive for COVID-19, Scheiefle enters COVID-19 protocol. This will leave the Jets without two-thirds of their top-line when they take on the Ducks on Thursday. Look for Pierre-Luc Dubois and Paul Stastny to play increased roles with Scheifele out.

Perfetti will make his NHL debut on Wednesday.

Perfetti was the No.10 overall pick in 2020 and spent the 2021 season in Manitoba (AHL), where he had nine goals and 17 assists (26 points) in 32 games. In his debut, he will skate on the third line with Adam Lowry and Jansen Harkins.

Scheifele (suspension) will not play Wednesday vs. the Ducks.

Scheifele will serve the final game of his suspension that was handed down by the NHL during the postseason for his hit on Jake Evans. With Scheifele out for the season opener, Paul Stastny is expected to centre the Jets' top line and Pierre-Luc Dubois should see time on PP1.
