WINNIPEG -- Tyler Myers said he'll be in the lineup for the Winnipeg Jets when they host the Minnesota Wild in Game 5 of the Western Conference First Round at Bell MTS Place on Friday (7:30 p.m. ET; USA, SN, TVAS2, FS-N).
The Jets, who lead the best-of-7 series 3-1, can win a Stanley Cup Playoff series for the first time in their history.

The defenseman sustained a lower-body injury during the second period of Game 3 after a hit from Wild forward Marcus Foligno. He missed Game 4.
"Feel pretty good," Myers said after the Jets' optional skate Friday. "Stepped out there this morning and all things were going pretty well, so I'll be out there tonight."

Asked if he's good to go for Game 5, he said, "I am."
Jets coach Paul Maurice was non-committal.
"We'll see," he said. "He looks good out there though."
Myers had 36 points (six goals, 30 assists) in 82 games this season. He was limited to 11 games last season because of lower-body injuries.
"You're talking about a guy who missed a year, basically, with an injury," Maurice said. "We wanted to make sure it wasn't that. Once we passed through that gate, he was back on the ice."
The 28-year-old has three points (two goals, one assist) in the series, and his return to the lineup will help to mitigate the loss of defenseman Josh Morrissey, who was suspended by the NHL Department of Player Safety for one game after a cross-check to the neck of Minnesota center Eric Staal in Game 4.
The Jets are also without injured defensemen Toby Enstrom (lower body) and Dmitry Kulikov (back). Enstrom has been skating but has not played in the series.
Winnipeg's six defensemen for Game 5 are likely to be Dustin Byfuglien, Joe Morrow, Jacob Trouba, Ben Chiarot, Tucker Poolman and Myers. Poolman played his first Stanley Cup Playoff game in Game 4, taking 11 shifts for 8:17.
Maurice wouldn't reveal his defense pairs for Game 5 after the morning skate.
During that skate, backup goalie Steve Mason left the ice with an apparent injury. The Jets recalled

from Manitoba of the American Hockey League to back up Connor Hellebuyck.
