Winnipeg has collected 20 of a possible 28 points in his absence but the Jets are still eager to get veteran Dustin Byfuglien back in their lineup.

The 33-year-old defenceman, who has missed 14 games after suffering a lower-body injury in a collision with Minnesota's Luke Kunin on Dec. 29, practised for the first time in a regular jersey at the Bell MTS Iceplex Monday morning and could get the green light for Tuesday's showdown with the San Jose Sharks.
