Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

The Jets took off Monday and are back on the ice today for practice as they get set to continue their final homestand tomorrow night against the Flyers.

Skate news:

As per Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet injured forward Cole Perfetti is skating today in a yellow, non-contact uniform. Obviously he has already been ruled out for the rest of the regular season and isn’t able to play in the AHL playoffs due to CBA rules but it is still a good sign that he is joining practice. Both Nate Schmidt and Zach Sanford are practicing in regular jerseys today according to Wieber who provides the lines and D pairs below.
