A top-pairing defenceman. A shut-down centre. And a depth winger who can kill penalties and bring energy.

Sounds like the wish list of any general manager looking to make a splash at the trade deadline. But for the Winnipeg Jets, these additions will soon be in the lineup, and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff won't have to pick up the phone.

Coach Paul Maurice offered up some promising injury updates Tuesday as his team prepared to take on the Los Angeles Kings tonight at Bell MTS Place.
