WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have returned to practice a day after suspending workouts due to a possible exposure to COVID-19.
The Jets took to the ice at Bell MTS Place this morning before leaving for Toronto for a game Monday against the Maple Leafs.
Winnipeg cancelled its practice Saturday over what the team called “an abundance of caution” regarding a possible exposure to the novel coronavirus.
The Jets haven’t played since opening their 2020-21 season with a 4-3 overtime win over visiting Calgary on Thursday.
Winger Patrik Laine left practice early, leaving his status in doubt for Winnipeg’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.
“[Laine] couldn’t warm up right during practice,” coach Paul Maurice said. “I don’t even know if I’m going to list him as day to day yet, we’ll wait until we get to tomorrow to see how he’s feeling.”
