Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Jets will have leading scorer Mark Scheifele in their lineup tonight when they host the New York Rangers at the MTS Centre (7 p.m., TSN3, TSN 1290).
Scheifele, who has 13 goals and 26 points in 26 games, missed Winnipeg’s last three games due to leg injury.
“I got hit against the dasher (against the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 1), kind of the upper part of my hamstring,” Scheifele said following the pre-game skate Thursday morning. “It’s just kind of something that wasn’t feeling as well as I thought. It was kind of day by day…

“I’m happy to feel good today and I’m going to be ready to play tonight.”
Scheifele will centre a line with wingers Blake Wheeler and Drew Stafford.
Goalie Michael Hutchinson is expected to get the start in net for Winnipeg.
The Rangers did not skate Thursday.
