Honestly, the Winnipeg Jets need a win tonight to get back on track before the playoffs. It might help them if they played Sami Niku again as he is with the Jets now seeing as the Manitoba Moose left him off their clear day roster.
Some positive news on the injury front is Josh Morrissey did skate today and will hopefully be returning to the lineup soon. While Nathan Beaulieu has filled in admirably, the Jets will only be better with more good players in the lineup.
