The Winnipeg Jets have a chance to eliminate the St. Louis Blues in Game 6 of their Western Conference first-round series on Friday night — but they’ll have to do it without one of their key offensive weapons. Top-line center Mark Scheifele is considered day-to-day after taking a heavy hit from Brayden Schenn in the first period of Game 5. While Scheifele finished the period, he did not return for the second and has not been confirmed for Friday’s tilt. Scheifele, who was second on the team in both goals (39) and points (87) in the regular season, has contributed six points in five playoff games. Jets coach Scott Arniel declined to comment when asked whether Scheifele is in concussion

The Chicago Cubs head to Milwaukee on Friday with the wind at their backs — and the most powerful offense in baseball fueling their momentum. Fresh off a convincing series win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cubs are mashing their way through the 2024 season. Averaging 6.7 runs per game in their last set, the team leads all of Major League Baseball in total runs scored and hits, and they’re near the top in almost every offensive category that matters.

Despite dropping the final two games of their three-game series against the D-backs, the Mets remain a formidable force in the National League, sitting just behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the standings. At 21-11, they’re tied for the second-best record in baseball, but recent offensive struggles have shown some cracks in the armor. Meanwhile, the Cardinals come into the series after a 2-2 split with the Cincinnati Reds, and while the

For the Los Angeles Angels, déjà vu strikes again — and not in a good way. One of MLB’s most prolific superstars, Mike Trout, is heading back to the injured list with a bone bruise in his left knee, the same knee that required surgery last year and cut his season short after just 29 games. He had started all 29 of the Angels’ games this season before suffering the injury during a hustle play in Wednesday’s game against the Seattle Mariners. It happened in the blink of an eye: Trout sprinted to beat out an infield grounder, hit the first base bag hard with his left foot, and instantly looked uncomfortable. While he initially stayed in the game, he
