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

The Dallas Stars may just want to wrap up their second-round Western Conference series when they have a chance in Game 6, and not let Connor Hellebuyck and the Jets get another game in Winnipeg.

For Scheifele, Game 6 was a way to honour his dad. It ended with heartbreak, but not without courage in the face of a devastating loss.
