As the Winnipeg Jets await the return of defenceman Dustin Byfuglien from an ankle injury, it will remain an all-hands-on-deck approach to the blue line.
Those that were already logging notable minutes are getting more, while others deeper down the depth chart have seen a major tick in their ice time over the last few games. Since Byfuglien’s injury on Dec. 29, Ben Chiarot and Dmitry Kulikov have been asked to give more each night. For Joe Morrow, it’s simply an opportunity to play, as he was a healthy scratche the previous seven games and missed eight before that with an injury.
