While there were some concerns around multiple Jets players being exposed to Covid-19, it appears that no one outside of Tucker Poolman was exposed in any way. The Jets canceled their practice on Saturday out of caution but resumed regular skating yesterday.
Patrik Laine, who scored two goals in Winnipeg’s first game, left both yesterday and today’s practice early. Head coach Paul Maurice simply mentioned that Laine had “trouble warming up,” so it’s safe to assume he’s dealing with something minor, but he won’t play tonight. That’s a big piece of the Jets’ offense, especially their power play, that will be missing tonight.
