Ken Wiebe: Winnipeg Jets forward Brandon Tanev will be out for the rest of the week. On the other hand, Game 1 of their postseason is not certain either. It’s about a 50-50 chance.
Kevin Kurz of The Athletic: San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson could return on Saturday for a tuneup and then play Round 1. He will be rusty and a question is how long will that rust linger. Erik Karlsson’s second significant injury in the last two years may not be so easy to overcome.
Mikko Rantanen shut down till next week
Rick Sadowski: Rantanen is skating but the upper body injury which has plagued him for a couple of weeks will keep him out for another 5-7 days.
