Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

The Jets were off on Friday after a return from a road trip that saw them win twice and lose once. However with three players and video coach Matt Prefontaine going into covid protocols before the game on Thursday in Colorado it did leave open the possibility for more players or staff potentially being impacted.

As well there is the lingering question about Paul Stastny who is obviously dealing with something non-covid related as he was described by interim head coach Dave Lowry as a game-time decision and ultimately didn’t play against the Avalanche.

Skate news:

As per Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun no Paul Stastny nor Logan Stanley this morning. For the lines we go to Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV which you can see below. As an aside quite the opportunity for someone with Perfetti’s vision to be able to distribute the puck to Connor and Dubois.

Lines:

Copp-Scheifele-Ehlers
Connor-Dubois-Perfetti
Suess-Lowry-Reichel
Svechnikov-Toninato-Vesalainen

Health News:

Interim head coach Dave Lowry says that both Paul Stastny and Logan Stanley are dealing with lower-body injuries and that both are listed as day-to-day.
