Armia will miss his eighth straight game with a lower-body injury, but is expected to play on Thursday. With Marko Dano playing, don't expect Armia to re-claimg his spot in the Jets’ top-6. He has four goals and four assists (eight points) in 34 games this season.

Armia played a season-high 19:24 TOI on Sunday and had just started taking on a larger role in Winnipeg, but will miss at least one week with a lower-body injury. With Armia out, Marko Dano will move into the Jets top-6.
Danault, 23, was the 26th overall pick in 2011 and has appeared in 30 of his 33 career NHL games this season, collecting one goal and fourth assists. The centre is a Quebec native heading home.
Kopitar left the game after playing just 5:12 TOI but there is no indication how he suffered the injury. Kopitar has nine points (4G / 5A) in eight games since the All-Star break and has been on a tear since the middle of December, so this would be a huge loss at both ends of the ice. Expect an update on Kopitar’s status heading into the weekend.
