Niederreiter scored one goal in five games while representing Switzerland at the Olympics, but will be out of the Jets' lineup on a week-to-week basis due to an undisclosed injury. The 33-year-old veteran forward has 19 points (8G / 11A) in 55 games with Winnipeg this season.

Pionk did not play the final four weeks leading up to the Olympic break and will remain sidelined when the team returns to action, out week-to-week with a new ailment. With Josh Morrissey (upper body) also sidelined, Logan Stanley will likely fill in as the interim quarterback on Winnipeg's top powerplay unit.

Morrissey was not able to contribute to Team Canada at the Olympics after suffering an injury in their opening game, and will remain sidelined when the Jets return to action on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The Jets have recalled Kale Clague from Manitoba (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Morrissey accompanied Team Canada for the Silver Medal performance at the Olympics, but did not play because of an upper-body injury and will remain sidelined for the Jets on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 30-year-old Morrissey is averaging 24:37 time-on-ice and has 42 points (10G / 32A) in 56 games this season.


Morrissey got hurt early in Canada's tournament opening win over the Czechs, and will miss their second game vs. Switzerland. Team Canada didn't provide much of an update on Morrissey's status, so it's unclear how many games he will miss. Travis Sanheim will draw into the lineup to replace Morrissey.

Morrissey played just 7:10 TOI before leaving Thursday's game vs. Czechia with an undisclosed injury. If Morrissey misses Friday's game vs. Switzerland, Travis Sanheim will dress as Canada's seventh defenseman. Shea Theodore will presumably take on a bigger role after starting Wednesday's game as the seventh blueliner.

Salomonsson had missed Winnipeg's previous two games due to illness but will return vs. Florida on Thursday. The 21-year-old Swedish defensemen has yet to pick up an NHL point in any of his six games played and is a -5 plus/minus with six SOG while averaging just 15:49 TOI.

Barron has not played in a week, but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 12:57 time-on-ice and has 14 points (7G / 7A) in 36 games this season. Danny Zhilkin will be the odd man out of the lineup as a healthy scratch.

Pionk showed no signs of an ailment in yesterday's 5-4 win over the New York Islanders, recording an assist in 20:21 time-on-ice, but will be out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis. The 30-year-old defenseman is averaging 22:47 time-on-ice and has eight points (2G / 6A) in 40 games this season.

Bjugstad has not played in over a month because of an upper-body injury, but he will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 33-year-old Bjugstad was averaging 11:27 time-on-ice and had five points (4G / 1A) in 25 games before his injury.
