Keep updated on all the injury news and roster updates from around the NHL with daily Ice Chips.


Winnipeg Jets

Forwards Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele will miss Saturday's game against the Nashville Predators as they are both remaining in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. 

The duo missed the Jets' home opener against the Anaheim Ducks earlier in the week. 

Wheeler was symptomatic and tested positive on Monday, meaning he will have to quarantine for a minimum of 10 days from his test date. Scheifele tested positive Tuesday but is asymptomatic. He needs to stay that way and produce two straight negative tests before returning to the team.

Rookie centre Shane Pinto, who left Thursday's game against the San Jose Sharks with an upper-body injury, is expected to miss at least the next five games, according to head coach DJ Smith. 


New York Rangers

Alexandar Georgiev will start in net in Saturday's matinee with the Ottawa Senators, head coach Gerard Gallant anounced.
