With the Jets locked into a first-round matchup with the Colorado Avalanche, they will sit a number of players in their season finale. Namestnikov, who will be replaced by Cole Perfetti on Thursday, finishes the season with 11 goals and 26 assists (37 points) in 78 games.
Namestnikov has been productive lately but is battling an undisclosed ailment, making his status uncertain for Friday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks. He has five points (1G / 4A) in his last six games.
Namestnikov exited Thursday's game against the Edmonton Oilers, playing only 11:53, after an awkward collision with Darnell Nurse and will miss Saturday's game vs. Chicago as he is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Namestnikov had been playing with Alex Iafallo and Cole Perfetti on the Jets' second line, but his status is out Saturday and doubtful Monday. He has 11 points (2G / 9A) in 22 games this season.
Namestnikov had eight goals, 17 assists, 108 SOG, 35 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 77 games played in 2022-23 with both Tampa Bay and Winnipeg and has signed a two-year, $4.0 million contract ($2.0M AAV) extension with the Jets. The 30-year-old veteran centre has 261 points (115G/146A) through 630 NHL games played.
The Sharks acquired Namestnikov from the Lightning on Wednesday, and he now leaves for the Jets before having ever played a game for San Jose. Namestnikov scored six goals and added nine assists in 57 games with the Lightning this season. He is likely to slot into Winnipeg's bottom-six.
Namestnikov missed the Lightnings' previous contest due to a lower-body injury but is expected to return to the lineup Thursday as they take on Columbus. The 30-year-old has a goal, six points, 40 SOG and is -6 plus/minus through 27 games in Tampa's bottom-six.
Namestnikov had a goal, five assists, 40 SOG and 11 PIMs through 27 games so far with Tampa Bay but will miss his first game Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury as he is day-to-day. The 30-year-old sits on 108 career goals, and 242 points through 580 NHL games played.
Namestnikov suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's win over the Lightning and is expected to miss some time. Alexander Radulov will return to the lineup on Thursday to replace Namestnikov in the bottom-6.
Namestnikov missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury and wasn't on the ice for the morning skate but is expected to play Wednesday vs. Colorado. Look for Namestnikov, who has 13 goals and 10 assists (23 points) in 49 games, to skate on the third line with Michael Rasmussen and Adam Erne.
Namestnikov missed Sunday's practice before leaving for Minnesota and is questionable to play Monday. If he can't go, Givani and Gemel Smith will both be in the lineup together for the first time.
Namestnikov was listed as questionable after missing Thursday's practice but was ruled out on Friday morning. Darren Helm is expected to return from a lower-body injury to replace Namestnikov in the lineup.
