Status report
Samoskevich, who made his NHL debut at the Minnesota Wild on Thursday, moved up and skated on the second line at practice in Winnipeg on Friday, swapping spots with Cousins. Bennett, a center, did not make the trip but is getting closer to returning. … Ehlers skated Friday after crashing awkwardly into the boards in a 5-3 loss at the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. Jets coach Rick Bowness said Ehlers is expected to play.
