With Jets morning practice closed to the media any news regarding health of their injured players was not expected until warm up skate got going tonight in Edmonton sometime after 9 PM CT.

However Jets PR put out this tweet providing some insight into the injured Jets forwards:

Which means the trio of Jets injured in game 1 don’t seem likely to be available for the critical game 4 elimination contest. Of course it is possible they could take the warm up skate to test things out but that seems highly unlikely given that they didn’t skate this morning.

About the only positive you can take from this is Mathieu Perreault, who was hurt in the 2nd period of game 3, wasn’t listed among the skating wounded which means the veteran is likely available for tonight’s game.

Check out the pre-game report which will have any and all updates.
