Overview
- Haydn Fleury exited Saturday’s win over the Kings after blocking an Adrian Kempe shot that struck near his kneecap and did not return despite testing the leg before the third period.
- Head coach Scott Arniel labeled the injury lower body and day-to-day, with Fleury missing Sunday’s skate yet considered a possibility to play at some point on the road trip.
- Winnipeg recalled left-shot defenseman Kale Clague from the AHL and assigned forward Brad Lambert to the Manitoba Moose to provide immediate blue-line cover.
- Practice alignments had Colin Miller skating on his off side with Luke Schenn, Logan Stanley moving up with Neal Pionk, and Clague working as the extra defender.
- The Jets are already down Dylan Samberg with a broken wrist for six to eight weeks and have had to finish three early games using only five defensemen.
