ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Winnipeg Jets center Mathieu Perreault and Anaheim Ducks defenseman James Wisniewski both sat out of their clubs' first-round series opener Thursday night.
Perreault missed the Jets' regular-season finale with a lower-body injury, and he didn't participate in the pregame skate. He scored 41 points this season.
Perreault joined Winnipeg as a free agent last summer after revitalizing his career with the Ducks in the 2013-14 season.
Wisniewski was a healthy scratch for the Pacific Division champion Ducks, who stuck with Clayton Stoner, Sami Vatanen and Simon Despres instead.
