Coach Maurice provided updates today on TSN 1290 Winnipeg in a chat with Jets play by play voice on radio Paul Edmonds including:
Bryan Little and Mathieu Perreault both got on the ice this morning.
On Mathieu Perreault: “That’s Mathieu’s first time on the ice in an awfully long time. Even when he declares himself ready to play he’s got to get back on the ice.”
On Bryan Little: “Bryan’s been skating fairly regularly. He’s going to get cleared for contact in our next practice which is a huge hurdle. And then it will be how he feels after contact over a couple of days and getting his skating legs again. He’s been off the ice for such a long time.”
On both Perreault and Little he indicated “Even when these guys get that 100% green light, it’s not an upper-body injury really, where you can just hop right back in because you’ve been able to keep your legs, you’re going to have to do some skating to get them ready.”
On Tyler Myers: “Myers is still aways away.”
On both Joel Armia & Shawn Matthias: “Clearly long term still. We are talking end of December.”
