It goes without saying the Jets need Scheifele to contribute offensively. He's a massive part of their offense and has the skill to win games off his stick on any given night.
What the Jets also need from Scheifele is more effort off the puck. More commitment defensively. They aren't asking him to morf into a shut-down forward. They simply need him to provide average detail and assist with keeping pucks out of their net at even strength.
So far this season Scheifele is providing better three zone detail and effort, without sacrificing offense.
He was a (-16) last season and only won 47% of his face-offs.
So far this season his stats look like this:
7GP - 4G-3A-7PTS
(+0)
50% F/O
It's early. The season is a marathon. But he gets credit for his early season body of work.
