While it seems a return to normality is close there are still things like cross border requirements that can mean that the Jets roster could require adjustment between games.

Case in point is Neal Pionk who was placed into protocol on February 7th and was accordingly unavailable to play on the 8th in Winnipeg against the Wild. On that gameday interim head coach Dave Lowry indicated there was a possibility that Pionk “provided his numbers meets criteria” could join them on the road. He played in Dallas on the 11th and Nashville on the 12th but this morning it was noted he wasn’t taking part in morning skate.

As per interim head coach Dave Lowry it is day 10 today for Pionk in terms of cross border travel so he will not be available tonight. He can return to Canada tomorrow.

Accordingly the Jets have activated Logan Stanley from injured reserve and he will draw back in for the Jets. It will be his first game since January 20th.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. 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.
