Toews missed the last 11 games with a concussion that he suffered in Detroit on January 26th. Toews, who has scored four goals and 15 assists (19 points) in 43 games this season, will centre the second line with Alex DeBrincat and Tyler Johnson, who also returns to the lineup on Thursday.
Reichel will come out of the Jets lineup on Wednesday and could miss multiple weeks with a lower-body injury. Reichel had played eight games in a row and was becoming an effective part of the Jets' bottom-6 next to Adam Lowry. Kristian Vesalainen will draw into the lineup to replace him.
Stanley has played in five straight games since returning from a lower-body injury but will be scratched in favour of Nathan Beaulieu on Wednesday. Stanley had one assist, 10 shots and a plus-3 rating in those five games.
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.
Perfetti is expected to miss some time with an upper-body injury, so he was moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Adam Brooks, who was claimed off of waivers from Toronto.
Perfetti suffered an upper-body injury on a hit from the much bigger Jamie Oleksiak on Thursday and will miss some time. With Andrew Copp also sidelined, the Jets' depth will be tested vs. the Oilers on Saturday.
Toews has not played since January 25th in Detroit and lands on IR to open up a roster spot to call up Lukas Reichel. Toews will be eligible to be activated whenever he's back to 100 percent.
Pionk was ineligible to travel back to Canada for Monday's game but will play Wednesday vs. the Wild. Pionk has been very quiet recently, posting just three assists in his last 17 games. He's expected to replace Neal Pionk on the blueline.
