He scored 27 goals during the regular season but has just one in seven games during this postseason. That is why it seems that Vilardi could be poised to go on a hot streak.<\/p>\n<p>If he does, Vilardi\u2019s hot streak could mean a significant boost for the Winnipeg Jets as their scoring has dried up in the second round. He got his first tally of the Stanley Cup playoffs in Game 2 against the Stars. He\u2019s also notched two assists, which could be a signal that Vilardi\u2019s heating up at the most crucial moment for the Jets.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 Mark Scheifele<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"The Jets will be counting on Scheifele to step up - Source: Imagn\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg 1920w\" alt=\"The Jets will be counting on Scheifele to step up - Source: Imagn\" src-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/26119644-1747222218.jpeg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201280%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>The Jets will be counting on Scheifele to step up &#8211; Source: Imagn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/news-video-mark-scheifele-knocked-ryan-strome-land-major-blows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Mark Scheifele<\/a> had a big series against the St. Louis Blues.

In Game 1, He got seven shots on goal. As a result, it seems like it\u2019s only a matter of time before Scheifele gets a couple of bounces to go his way.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s indeed the case, Scheifele and the Jets could pull off a remarkable comeback.

Growing up in Toronto, he became an avid Maple Leafs and Blue Jays fan, but also admires the New York Islanders and Los Angeles Dodgers for their dominance in the 80s. Holding an Economics and Education major, Nestor\u2019s passion for writing and sporting events led him to take up reporting about the sport professionally.<\/p>\n<p>Nestor credits the Leafs\u2019 playoff runs in the early &#8217;90s as having a lasting impact on him. His favorite players are Doug Gilmour and Mike Bossy, as he feels they were tough, talented leaders, while Pat Burns is his favorite coach of all time for always preaching a fast-paced game.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in Canada, it was natural for Nestor to become interested in ice hockey and he played Minor Hockey as a teenager, which has given him a unique perspective on the sport. Nestor has mastered the art of how to best present facts and he also has a knack for knowing which sources can be trusted, and which can&#8217;t for stories.<\/p>\n<p>When he is not writing about Canada\u2019s national passion, Nestor enjoys running and hiking.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/nestor-quixta\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Nestor Quixtan<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/3-winnipeg-jets-players-can-potentially-stun-dallas-stars-win-series-despite-3-1-deficit-ft-mark-scheifele\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The Winnipeg Jets find themselves in a 3-1 hole following their Game 4 loss on Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars.
