Jets' forward Mathieu Perreault is expected to make his return to the Jets lineup as Jets beat reporter Scott Billeck reports.
The 32-year old from Drummondville, Que., has been absent from the Jets lineup since taking an elbow to the head from the Vancouver Canucks' Jake Virtanen in a 4-0 Jets win on Jan. 14. Prior to his injury, Perreault had played in 46 games for the Jets, recording 14 points. Now in his 10th NHL season, the former sixth-round Washington Captial selection has played in 624 games recording 323 points.
Ottawa Senators
The Ottawa Senators made two roster changes Friday morning, recalling defenceman Christian Wolanin and re-assigned Christian Jaros to the Belleville Senators.
Wolanin, 24, has played in just nine games for the Belleville Senators after being assigned to them to recover from a torn labrum.
Jaros, 23, has played in 32 games for the Belleville Senators this season, recording 15 points. The Kosic, Slovakia., native has played 13 games for the NHL Senators this season after being recalled from Belleveille in mid February.
Vancouver Canucks
After missing his only game of the season on Wednesday, Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers is set to return to the lineup as per TSN's Farhan Lalji.
The 30-year old from Houston was selected by the Buffao Sabres with the 12th pick in the 2008 NHL Draft. Myers spent seven years with the Sabres from 2009-15 where he was awarded the Calder Trophy in his rookie season where he recorded 48 points in 82 games with the Sabres. In the 2014-15 season, Myers was traded from Buffalo to Winnipeg with several other players and a pick in a trade that sent Evander Kane to the Sabres. During his time with the Jets, Myers spent five years in Winnipeg from 2014-19, playing in 207 games while recording 114 points. Following that season, Myers was signed by the Vancouver Canucks where he has spent the 2019-20 season playing in 65 games and recording 21 points.
New Jersey Devils
Defenceman Fredrik Claesson will return to the lineup tonight as Devils team reporter Amanda Stein reported Friday morning.
Claesson has missed two games for the Devils as he was dealing with an undisclosed lower-body injury.
He has appeared in three games for the Devils this season.
Additionally, the Devils announced that they have assigned defenceman Josh Jacobs and forward Jesper Boqvist to the Binhamton Devils of the AHL.
Jacobs, 23, played in two games for the Devils since being recalled by the team on March 1. He did not record a point for New Jersey. With the team's AHl affiliate, Jacobs has recorded 14 points in 50 games.
Boqvist, 21, has recorded four points in 25 games played with the Devils. At the AHL level, Boqvist has eight points in 15 games played.
Buffalo Sabres
The Buffalo Sabres announced Friday that they have assigned goaltender Jonas Johansson to the Rochester Americans of the AHL.
The 24-year old from Gavale, Sweeden., was recalled by the Sabres in late January. Johansson had started six games for Buffalo, recording a record of 1-3-1, posting a goals-against average of 2.94 and a .894 save percentage.

Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled defenceman Dennis Gilbert on an emergency basis from the team's AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs.
This comes on the heels of the injury sustained to Lucas Carlsson, who was struck in the head by a puck and went to the dressing room during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Chicago.
Gilbert, 23, has split time between the Blackhawks and the IceHogs this season. He has played in 20 games for the NHL club, recording three points. In 28 games played with the IceHogs of the AHL, Gilbert has recorded seven points. The season prior, he spent most of his time in Rockford, appearing in 63 AHL games and only one with Chicago.
