Vilardi has put up 16 goals and 14 assists for 30 points in 38 games this season with the Jets. He last got into action Feb. 29 when the Jets’ 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars and only played in the first two periods.
This isn’t Vilardi’s first injury of the season, in the third game of the season, the 24-year-old was injured after an awkward collision with Los Angeles Kings forward Blake Lizotte. Vilardi later deemed it to be “a stupid play.” He would miss the next 18 games with a sprained MCL. Vilardi returned to the lineup in late November and then would miss two more games with a lower-body injury in January.
