Gabriel Vilardi Questionable For Saturday Following Thursday's Exit
10 months agoWinnipeg Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi (upper body) is questionable for Saturday's fascinating matchup against Carolina. He left Thursday's contest versus Dallas early, sitting out the third period of a 4-1 loss. Jets head coach Rick Bowness said postgame that he is "concerned" about Vilardi's availability for Saturday's game. The 24-year-old forward finished Thursday's clash without a point, but he has been one of Winnipeg's most productive players in 2023-24. In 38 outings, Vilardi has collected 30 points (16 goals, 14 assists). Bowness will need to shuffle his top six if Vilardi isn't available at the weekend. Cole Perfetti could make a big jump up in the lineup from the fourth line.
