Scheifele's absence was a surprise on Wednesday as he came down with an illness before puck-drop. The Jets have had several players miss time due to illness over the last few games, but Scheifele is expected to return to the lineup on Friday against the Anaheim Ducks. Scheifele has 10 points (3G / 7A) in his last nine games.

Kupari will take the place in the lineup of Mark Scheifele, who is out with an illness. Kupari is expected to centre Morgan Barron and Cole Perfetti on the Jets' fourth line.
Scheifele's absence is a surprise, as the team did not make any mention of a potential injury prior to warmups. The Jets have had a number players miss due to illness over the last few games, so it's possible Scheifele is the next in that unfortunate line. Rasmus Kupari is expected to take his place in the lineup on Wednesday.
Skinner has only started one of the last three games but will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals. His recent inactivity hasn't resulted from poor play as he has been impressive lately, allowing two or fewer goals in five straight (4-0-1), posting a .947 SV%.
Cole Perfetti will draw back into the Jets' lineup on Monday, sending Kupari to the press box as a healthy scratch. Kupari played the last two games for the Jets, averaging under 10 minutes of ice-time while tallying four hits and one shot.
Perfetti did not play in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks but will draw back into the lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. Perfetti has been limited to a single point (0G / 1A) in his last 18 games. On Monday, Rasmus Kupari is expected to be the odd man out of the lineup.
Kupari will get the chance to play in Seattle on Friday after being scratched in each of Winnipeg's last two games. David Gustafsson will sit in his place.
Bjugstad will play on Friday after missing Thursday's game due to the impending birth of his child. He will center Matias Maccelli and Alex Kerfoot on the team's second line.
Vilardi exited last Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars in the second period with an upper-body injury and will return to practice on Monday. The 24-year-old Vilardi had been productive lately, scoring 10 points (5G / 5A) in his last seven games before his injury.
Bjugstad has five points in his last eight games (4G / 1A) along with 21 shots and 19 hits. Most recently, Bjugstad has played on a line with Matias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse.
The Devils, losers of three straight, will return to Daws between the pipes after unsuccessfully allowing Akira Schmid to prove himself in a 5-3 loss to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. Daws has showcased horrendous performances in his last two outings (0-2-0), allowing eight goals on his last 27 shots (.704 SV%). That said, the Devils enter action as -151 home favourites against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night.
Vilardi exited last Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars in the second period with an upper-body injury and will miss at least two more games. The 24-year-old Vilardi had been productive lately, scoring 10 points (5G / 5A) in his last seven games before his injury.
Bjugstad has five points in his last eight games (4G / 1A) along with 21 shots and 19 hits. Most recently, Bjugstad has played on a line with Matias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse.
Gregor will fill in for Pontus Holmberg, who is presumably a healthy scratch. Gregor has five goals and six assists in 53 games this season.
Phillips will for in for Louis Crevier as Chicago looks to get some fresh legs into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Phillips has no goals and six assists in 32 games this season.
After several poor outings in mid-February, Skinner has turned in three consecutive wins and will return to the crease on Tuesday evening. Skinner has allowed fewer than three goals in three straight (3-0-0), including saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken in his last outing. The Oilers enter action as -129 road favourites against a Boston Bruins club that defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs last night.
