Ahead of tonight's final preseason contest against the Calgary Flames head coach of the Winnipeg Jets Scott Arniel provided two key injury updates.

Throughout the preseason the Winnipeg Jets have suffered some terrible injury luck first losing star defenseman Dylan Samberg for multiple months.
Then, Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck and newcomer Jonathan Toews both went down with various injuries.
Ahead of tonight's game Arniel was able to give the latest update on Hellebuyck and Toews prognosis which have gone in very different directions.

Scott Arniel Delivers A Mix of Good and Bad News on Key Injuries to Winnipeg Jets Veterans

During his morning skate press conference, Arniel was asked for an injury update on both Hellebuyck and Toews.
Arniel began with the good news which was in regard to Hellebuyck who will be in tonight's lineup after dealing with a rib injury.
Will Hellebuyck be playing the entire game tonight against the Flames?

Arniel: Yes he will play the entire game.

When it comes to Toews the news was less exciting as Arniel was asked if he had returned back to the ice yet and confirmed that Toews is still no cleared to skate.
Was Jonathan able to skate on his own today or no?

Arniel: No he was not able to skate today.

With Toews absence for opening night looking more likely by the day it seems for now that Parker Ford will fill Toews role and have a very good opportunity to make the opening night roster for the first time in his career.
Hopefully, the Jets including Hellebuyck can come out of tonight's game prepared for opening night and without any further injury issues.
As for Toews, when there is more information provided on his status for opening night and beyond we will pass along the latest news to you.
