With all the joy in joyland (sans last game) the Jets have been rolling along and maintaining the same lines. There hasn’t been much in the way of injury updates for the NHL club of Winnipeg with both Ville Heinola and Jaret Anderson-Dolan out of sight, out of mind.
Almost two weeks ago head coach Scott Arniel indicated Heinola wasn’t yet on the ice as he continued to recover from the surgery on his already surgically repaired ankle and then last week he indicated he still wasn’t skating.

All that has changed as he advised media today in Detroit when asked about the Finnish Dman and then added this about injured forward Anderson-Dolan:
“He’s skating. We’ve got Ville on the ice. Yeah Ville’s been on the ice a couple of days. Still non-contact. Same with Anderson-Dolan. They’re both out on the ice but both are just getting their conditioning right now. No contact.”
Anderson-Dolan was a bit of an unusual situation as he blocked a shot, was put on waivers, cleared, then recalled and placed on IR. It turned out he had suffered a broken foot.

Both players remain in Winnipeg as they work back towards full health.
