Stars head coach Pete DeBoer called Scheifele a “courageous young man” after he played following his father’s death.

Winnipeg top center Mark Scheifele scored a goal in the Jets' must-win Game 6 of their second-round playoff series at Dallas on Saturday night, hours after the unexpected death of his father. But he also had the penalty that set up the Stars' power-play goal in overtime for a 2-1 win that knocked the top-ranked Jets out of the playoffs.
