Status report
Maenalanen, a forward who has missed 16 games, could return; he did not take line rushes during the Jets' morning skate Thursday, but is "ready to go," according to coach Rick Bowness and Winnipeg may have to make a roster decision in order to activate him from injured reserve. … Hellebuyck will make his seventh start in eight games. ... Luukkonen was recalled from Rochester of the American Hockey League on Thursday and will start. ... The Sabres loaned forward Jack Quinn to Rochester in a corresponding move.
