The Jets didn’t just lose the game on Saturday night against the Kings they also lost Jansen Harkins in the 1st period after he took an elbow to the head in his first shift. The team thereafter ruled him out of returning to the game.

The team was off on Sunday and today following practice Jets interim head coach Dave Lowry was asked about the status of the hard-working forward.

“Believe he’s being evaluated today. We should have an update.”

The follow-up question was whether Harkins would be available to play Wednesday night against the Red Wings and Lowry replied

“He will not.”

Tough news for the versatile forward.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
