Patrik Laine Day-To-Day<\/h2>\n

Laine left Jets’ practice on Monday after suffering a lower-body injury. The injury occurred after he collided with Lucas Sbisa<\/strong><\/a>. Laine did not play on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks<\/a>. There was hope he could play against the San Jose Sharks<\/a>. Even though Laine was a full participant in practice on Thursday, things did not go well and head coach Paul Maurice<\/strong> ruled him out for Friday night’s game. Laine skated alongside Mathieu Perreault<\/a><\/strong> and Andrew Copp<\/a><\/strong>. However, Laine did not work with the top power-play unit.<\/p>\n

Laine is tied for the team lead with 13 points along with Mark Scheifele<\/a><\/strong> and Nikolaj Ehlers<\/a><\/strong>. Laine is in the midst of seven-game goal drought, but over that stretch has been able to rack up close to 19 shots over that period.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n

With Laine out of the lineup, Bryan Little<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>questionable, and Adam Lowry<\/a><\/strong> serving a two-game suspension, the Jets will be down three forwards against the Sharks. Look for the Jets to up call up one or two forwards from the AHL. There is also a possibility the Jets could use 11 forwards and seven defenceman as well. Against the Ducks on Tuesday night, Jack Roslovic<\/a><\/strong> filled in for Laine with Little and Kyle Connor<\/a><\/strong>. Look for Roslovic to remain in the lineup.<\/p>\n

The Jets received some news on the Dustin Byfuglien<\/a><\/strong> front on Wednesday night. The big defenceman had surgery on his ankle last week<\/a> and will be out until the New Year. This is a positive sign for the Jets as he could prepping for a return to the ice. However, only Byfuglien knows what he really wants to do.<\/p>\n
