The Jets are playing well and now they are getting healthy again as we saw Haydn Fleury ditch the non-contact jersey on Monday and his fellow defenceman Colin Miller ditch his yesterday which made them both full participants this week.

The only other two players who are out of the lineup are Mason Appleton and Vlad Namestnikov.
Appleton suffered a lower-body injury, tried to play through it but his last game was against the Senators on December 28th. He’s missed the last eight games. Namestnikov blocked a shot against the Kings last Friday and has missed the last two games.
After the morning skate we got updates from head coach Scott Arniel. With respect to the two D men he indicated:
“Yup they are both up and running so we were at nine, now we are back to eight. First time all year we’ve ever been in this position. Don’t know what my plan is yet but they do need to get in the lineup.”
Regarding Namestnikov and Appleton he said:
“Him and Apple skated this morning. Real good chance they’re in tomorrow’s practice, I think with a yellow jersey on. I’m not sure about both but they both have been skating earlier than the team. Little bit of conditioning but both should be kind of up and running maybe for the road trip.”
So there is your latest news regarding health updates.
