Winnipeg Jets Mark Scheifele Taking Advantage of big Opportunities.
The best players are the ones who have the best experiences. The ones who’ve been taught the best, practiced the best, and played the best. Winnipeg Jets Mark Scheifele, is having an experience of a lifetime at the World Cup of Hockey.
The gimmick turned trademark Team North America is the most polarizing team at the World Cup. Their speed, and skill makes them impossible to contain, and all four lines can put the same product on the ice. With an incredible end to his season, Mark Scheifele made the team as one of his teams older players. The product Mark got put on the ice with isn’t too bad either. He was put on the right-wing, beside the last two years first overall picks, named “generational” by hockey experts everywhere, Connor McDavid, and Auston Matthews.
The good news for Mark Scheifele is in the two games he’s played with the “generational” line, there’s no way he’s been the weak link. Mark’s blazing speed makes him a perfect companion to play with a like-wise skater in Connor McDavid. The three have been creating chances every shift they’re on the ice, coming together for two of North America’s goals. They are on the Power Play together with Jack Eichel, one of the more enticing units we’ve ever seen.

After the World Cup, Mark Scheifele will come back to play for us, and will have even more experience playing with star players, making the full-time transition to first-line center. Nikolaj Ehlers, and Patrik Laine both have the skill sets to compare to Scheifele’s North America teammates, if they were Canadian citizens. Although Scheifele only has one point through his three games, and this could potentially be it for Team North America for this tournament, Mark Scheifele’s play has matched, if not succeeded what he showed he’s capable of during last season.
