The Winnipeg Jets are facing uncertainty regarding the lineup for their game against the St. Louis Blues, as several players are dealing with health issues.
Coach Scott Arniel informed the media that forward Nikolaj Ehlers` participation in Monday`s game against the Blues will be decided just before game time. Ehlers sustained a foot injury after blocking a puck in a previous game.
In addition, defenseman Colin Miller was absent from Monday morning`s practice due to illness, and his status for the game is also a game-time decision.
There is positive news regarding other injured Jets players. Neal Pionk is nearing his return from a lower-body injury. Gabriel Vilardi, recovering from an upper-body injury, is expected to resume on-ice practice soon. Rasmus Kupari, who has been experiencing concussion symptoms, has started skating individually.
Ehlers has been a key player for Winnipeg this season, contributing significantly with 24 goals and 39 assists in 67 games. Miller`s potential absence further complicates the Jets` defensive options.
The Jets are hoping for positive developments regarding Ehlers and Miller as they prepare to face the Blues.
