Winnipeg Jets superstar Mark Scheifele says he's fully recovered from the leg injury that derailed his postseason.
"I'm 100 percent, no question," Scheifele told NHL.com's Tim Campbell. "Skating every day. I don't know anyone who skates more than I do. I love being on the ice. That's my No. 1 thing. I get on the ice as much as I can."
Winnipeg's top center played only three shifts of the club's qualifying-round series versus the Calgary Flames because he caught an errant skate from Matthew Tkachuk in the back of the leg during a play along the boards. The Flames took the series in four games.
Due to Tkachuk's reputation as a pest, his intentions were questioned, but Scheifele said he doesn't believe the winger hurt him on purpose.
The 2019-20 campaign marked Scheifele's seventh full season with the Jets, and he finished the regular season tied for the team lead with 73 points in 71 games.
