Rotowire
Scheifele (upper body) is expected to center a line with Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi for Thursday's first on-ice practice, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Scheifele missed the last game of the Jets' first-round playoff exit with the injury, which was sustained in Game 4 of the series against Vegas. The center was never expected to miss time to begin camp. Scheifele is entering a contract year and his long-term future with the Jets is in question, but he'll undoubtedly once again have a sizable role with the team to begin 2023-24.
Scheifele (upper body) will miss Game 5 versus Vegas on Thursday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Two points including GWG
Rotowire
Scheifele scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.
Both his points came in the first period as the Jets jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and cruised from there. Scheifele snapped a five-game point drought with the performance, his longest stretch of the season without finding the scoresheet, and the 30-year-old now sits just one tally short of his first career 40-goal campaign.
Scheifele scored two goals, including the winner, in a 5-4 overtime victory over the Panthers on Saturday.
Scheifele has 38 goals this season -- the same as his career mark set in 2018-19. And he has 11 points, including six goals, in his last 10 games. Scheifele is rolling at a 21.8 shooting percentage this season, though, and that's well above his career 16.9. We're not convinced there will be a slowing in his scoring rate -- Scheifele has two other full seasons over 19 percent and four seasons above 18.
