Samberg has yet to play this season, recovering from a wrist injury during training camp, but appears to be nearing his season debut after practicing on Tuesday.

InjuryInjury
Perfetti (ankle) practiced in a regular jersey on Friday.

Perfetti suffered an ankle injury during the Jets' preseason finale and has been sidelined since, but appears to be nearing an imminent return after practicing on Friday. The 23-year-old Perfetti was originally expected to play on the team's top powerplay unit. That said, it's unclear if Perfetti will re-join the top powerplay unit, as Alex Iafallo has filled Perfetti's role adequately, helping the team garner a top-10 powerplay unit.
