For the second straight day Jets winger Morgan Barron was on the ice with his teammates in a regular jersey as he works his way back from an injury he suffered in Montreal back on January 28th which thereafter knocked him out week-to-week. He wasn’t involved in lines at morning skate today so there wasn’t an expectation he would be playing tonight against the Sharks.

Jets head coach Scott Arniel was asked for an update on 36 and had this to say:

“He’s close. He’s close yeah. I think he got skated today. He’ll come on the trip here and may be an option for us either Ottawa or Nashville.”

He got lucky with the 4 Nations break that his injury has only cost him five (now six) games.

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.
