Status report
Wheeler, a forward, will miss at least four weeks after being hit in the groin area by a shot during a 2-1 win against the Nashville Predators on Thursday and having a procedure Friday. ... Kuhlman will make his Jets debut in Wheeler's place after being claimed off waivers from the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday. … Schmidt, a defenseman, will miss 4-6 weeks after taking a hit against Nashville. … Pettersson, a center, and Boeser, a forward, each will be a game-time decision; Pettersson did not practice Friday and did not skate Saturday morning and Boeser was a late scratch for a 4-3 shootout win at the Calgary Flames on Wednesday but split time with Dries during the morning skate Saturday. ... Pederson is expected to make his Canucks debut after being recalled from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League on Friday.
