Jets coach Scott Arniel shared an update on Vladislav Namestnikov and Jonathan Toews after they both left last night's game with apparent injuries.

The Winnipeg Jets fell 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild in pre-season play on Tuesday, but more notable were the injuries to Jonathan Toews and Vladislav Namestnikov.
Marcus Foligno's short-handed goal in the second period proved to be the separator, breaking a 2-2 tie at Grand Casino Arena.
Toews did not return after exiting the game late in the second period. Head coach Scott Arniel said afterward that the veteran forward "tweaked something" and will get further examination when the club makes its return home.
Prior to his departure, the 37-year-old skated about 10 minutes and won six of 10 faceoffs.

Vladislav Namestnikov Should Be Okay and Doesn't Have a Concussion

Namestnikov departed in the third following a behind-the-skates hit to the boards by Yakov Trenin. He was removed by the concussion spotter, but Arniel said he is okay.
"More upper body than his head."

The 32-year-old had also tallied one of Winnipeg's two goals, with Cole Koepke scoring the other.
Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov scored for the Wild, and goaltender Jesper Wallstedt saved 26 of 28 shots. Connor Hellebuyck saved 16 of 19 shots for the Jets.
Minnesota was 1-for-2 on the power play, with Winnipeg being shut out on four chances.
Toews re-signed with his hometown club last summer on a one-year contract, returning to the NHL after sitting out two years because of health issues.
His third preseason game came on Tuesday as he attempts to establish chemistry on a line between Cole Perfetti and Nino Niederreiter.
The Jets will wait for more official Toews and Namestnikov updates, hoping the pair can avoid any long-term issues as the regular season bears down on them.
