Is Mathieu Perreault going to play? Coach won't say

Mathieu Perreault's status for Game 2 tonight remains a carefully worded "game-time decision," according to Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice.

The 30-year-old forward, who left Game 1 of Winnipeg's Western Conference opening round playoff series with the Minnesota Wild shortly after a heavy hit from Mikko Koivu, did not participate in the Jets morning skate and seems unlikely to play tonight.

Rookie forward Jack Roslovic, Perreault's most likely replacement for a 6:30 p.m. start time at Bell MTS Place, was asked if he knew if he would be playing against the Wild.

"No," said Roslovic following Winnipeg's morning skate.
