Samberg was playing well through his first six career games but is expected to miss multiple weeks with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Tuesday. Expect Jonathan Kovacevic to make his NHL debut in Samberg's spot.
Stanley missed Saturday and Sunday's games and was placed on IR ahead of Tuesday's game vs. the Panthers. The Jets used the roster spot to call up Johnathan Kovacevic from the taxi squad.
DeMelo missed Sunday's game in Pittsburgh and was placed on IR ahead of Tuesday's game vs. the Panthers. The Jets used the roster spot to call up Ville Heinola from the taxi squad.
Morrissey will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. the Panthers, so Ville Heinola has been promoted to the active roster and should replace him.
Pearson tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. the Oilers. J.T. Miller cleared COVID-19 protocol and will replace Pearson in the lineup.
Quinton Byfield was called up from the AHL this morning and will replace Kupari on the third line vs. the Avalanche.
With Miller going on IR, Mattias Samuelsson was recalled from Rochester (AHL) and will replace him in the lineup on Monday afternoon. Miller will miss at least one week.
It's unclear whether or not Clague will draw into the lineup on Thursday but with Chris Wideman suspended, he may have to play. Clague has one goal and no assists in eight games with the Canadiens.
DeMelo missed one game but will play in Detroit, which is big news for the Jets, who are going to be without three regulars on the back-end.
Samberg was a second-round pick (No.43 overall) in 2017 and is set to make his NHL debut on Thursday with Brendan Dillon, Logan Stanley and Nathan Beaulieu out.
