MATHIEU Perreault has been MIA from practice for the last few days and the Winnipeg Jets winger could be in civvies when the 2014-15 Stanley Cup tournament opens for the local heroes Thursday.
Perreault, who was injured in last Thursday's shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche, was not on the ice Tuesday just prior to the team heading off to Anaheim.
"He's getting better," said Jets coach Paul Maurice. "We don't want to turn it into a bigger problem than it is. He'll get back out on the ice. He may play based on how he feels after he skates.
