Status report
The Jets are expected to dress the same lineup they used in a 3-2 win at the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. … Vilardi is expected to play after leaving in the third period of an 8-2 win against the Calgary Flames on Monday; he was shaken up by a hard impact into the boards after being pulled down from behind by Flames defenseman MacKenzie Weegar. … Fiala took line rushes with the extra forwards in practice Friday and is expected to miss his sixth straight game. … Durzi, a defenseman, was a full participant in practice Friday but is likely to miss his seventh straight game.
