WINNIPEG — Winnipeg Jets forward Mathieu Perreault will return to the lineup for Thursday’s tilt against the Dallas Stars after being taken off injured reserve.
The 29-year-old missed the last three games due to a broken finger. He was hurt in Winnipeg’s 3-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Jan. 23.

Perreault told reporters earlier this week a slash from Ducks forward Corey Perry caused the injury.
“It was bad.” Perreault said on Monday. “I ended up with a broken finger. I just think it’s a dirty play.”
Perreault has four goals and 12 assists in 36 games this season. He put up five points in four games before being injured.
The Jets head into Dallas with back-to-back victories. They will try to extend their win streak to three for a tenth time this season. Winnipeg wraps up its four-game road trip on Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche.
