The Jets have the benefit of getting two days off between Games 4 and 5 as the series shifts from Winnipeg back to Las Vegas.
Scheifele, 30, led the Jets in the regular season with a career-high 42 goals plus 26 assists in 81 games. He had one goal in the series against Vegas before the injury.
In 12 NHL seasons, all spent with Winnipeg, Scheifele has tallied 645 career points (272 goals, 373 assists) in 723 games.
The Jets are also without All-Star defenseman Josh Morrissey and forward Nikolaj Ehlers because of injuries. Morrissey has been ruled out for the series because of a lower-body injury.
