Winnipeg Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey and forward Gabriel Vilardi are game-time decisions for Saturday’s rematch against the Toronto Maple Leafs, head coach Rick Bowness said Friday.
However, top centre Mark Scheifele remains out with a lower-body injury and will not play.
Morrissey, Vilardi and Scheifele all participated in practice.
Morrissey left Wednesday’s game against Toronto with a lower-body injury after blocking a shot.
Vilardi has been out for the last two games with a lower-body injury, as well. He also missed 18 games early in the season with a knee injury. In his first season with the Jets, Vilardi has 11 goals and 20 points in 26 games.
Scheifele has been sidelined with a lower-body injury he suffered back on Jan 11. The 30-year-old has scored 14 goals and 41 points in 40 games for the Jets this season.
The Jets will host the Maple Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday beginning at 7 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. CT.
