WINNIPEG – For the first time in more than three weeks, every forward on the Winnipeg Jets will be healthy enough to play in a game.
Manthieu Perreault and Adam Lowry will both be in tonight’s lineup against the Dallas Stars. The two players were activated from the team’s injured reserve early this afternoon.
Perreault sat out Winnipeg’s 5-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes on January 26 with a lower-body injury. Lowry has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury. The last time the Jets had every one of their forwards available was January 7.
To make room for the returning forwards, the Jets have placed Matt Halischuk on waivers to send him down to the AHL’s Manitoba Moose.
The Jets head into Tuesday’s tilt nine points back of the Nashville Predators for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference. The Stars come into Winnipeg having lost five of their last seven games.
