Scheifele on his four-game suspension

David Pagnotta: Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele: “First and foremost, the No.1 thing is Jake Evans’ health. I reached out to a couple of their guys. I pray for a quick and speedy recovery for him and that he’s OK.”

David Pagnotta: “My intention on that play is to negate a goal. There’s no intent, no malice there. My thought process there is to cut him up at that post. . . There’s a minute left in the game, we just scored, it’s a 1-goal game. My only thought in my mind is to prevent a goal.”
