The Winnipeg Jets have suffered <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/jets-get-major-injury-boost-with-fresh-updates-on-perfetti-lowry-and-samberg' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>injuries to several key players</a> including Cole Perfetti and Dylan Samberg. Cole Perfetti has missed the entire season to this point after suffering an ankle injury during training camp. Over the last several days, Perfetti has returned to the ice and even shed his non-contact jersey during practice. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhljets/status/1986867764326506730'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Now, head coach Scott Arniel has given an official update on how close Perfetti is to returning to the Jets lineup. <h3>Scott Arniel Admits Cole Perfetti Still Has Several Hurdles to Clear</h3> During his <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/blog-resetting-in-anaheim' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>most recent press conference</a>, Arniel admitted that the Jets' schedule has prevented Perfetti from having a full practice. To this point, since being able to take contact Perfetti has only taken part in optional and morning skates. He's getting there. He hasn't really got a real practice yet. He had an optional today and a morning skate yesterday, then a morning skate tomorrow. For me, I haven't heard yet how it went today. Maybe a little bit of bump and grind this week, but he's getting closer. With this response from Arniel, it seems that Perfetti could still miss several games until the Jets have enough off days to have a full practice. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/wpgmurat/status/1987270224090181716'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Additionally, we could see the Jets use a conditioning loan sending Perfetti to the AHL to play with the Manitoba Moose for a while to get his legs back under him and take some of that much needed contact. As the situation continues to develop and Perfetti's return comes closer we will pass along all of the latest news to you.
