Minnesota coach Jon Hynes didn’t have an update on Sturm postgame. … Kirkland is expected to play after being recalled from Iowa of the American Hockey League. … Pickard is expected to start. … Morrissey skated separately with a trainer on Monday but did not skate with the Jets on Tuesday and remains day to day. ...
