Overview

• Head coach Scott Arniel said Toews is day-to-day after he “tweaked something,” confirming a lower-body issue from Tuesday’s game in Minnesota.
• Toews left during a second-period power play in a non-contact sequence and did not return, finishing with 10:02 of ice time.
• He missed Thursday’s practice, and reporting indicates he is unlikely to dress for Friday’s preseason finale in Calgary.
• The Jets are adjusting lines in his absence, with Vladislav Namestnikov back to full practice after a concussion-spotter removal on Tuesday.
• Winnipeg is juggling depth with Dylan Samberg out 6–8 weeks with a broken wrist as the club trims from 28 players to a 23-man roster by Oct. 6 before opening next Thursday against Dallas.
