Dustin Byfuglien will make his long-awaited return to Winnipeg's lineup when the Jets host the Montreal Canadiens tonight (6 p.m., Sportsnet) at Bell MTS Place.

The 34-year-old defenceman, sidelined for the last 19 games with an ankle injury suffered on Feb. 14, has been sorely missed by his teammates who are playing their final home game of the 2018-19 regular season tonight.
