Status report
Ehlers, Reichel, Stanley, forward Stastny and defensemen Beaulieu and Heinola each has been removed from COVID-19 protocol. … Wheeler, a forward who has missed seven games, participated in the Jets morning skate Tuesday in a regular jersey. "It's going to be probably a couple more practices to get him up to speed, then it will be a medical decision," coach Dave Lowry said. … Svechnikov, a forward, is day to-day. … Oshie, a forward who left in the first period of a 2-0 win at the New York Islanders on Saturday, remains day to day.
