Jets' Mark Scheifele: Offense picking back up

Scheifele had two assists Thursday in a 3-2 overtime win over Buffalo.

Scheifele had been quietly offensively of late, so it was nice to see him get two helpers -- he has just five points (one goal, four assists) over his last eight games, including three points in his last two contests. Perhaps most importantly, Scheifele won 14 of 25 face-offs -- he's seen more time at wing than center of late due to an undisclosed issue. The big pivot's slower offensive pace will likely increase now as well. Whatever was ailing him appears to be behind him.
