Luostarinen will not play against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday, as he and his wife are expecting a child. The 26-year-old Luostarinen is averaging 15:17 time-on-ice and has 20 points (8G / 12A) in 58 games this season.
Heinola returned to the Jets lineup on Saturday with Josh Morrissey (illness) unavailable, but he'll come back out of the lineup on Monday. This will mark the 11th time in 12 games that Heinola has been a healthy scratch.
Morrissey missed the first game back after the 4Nations Face-off due to illness, but he's expected to replace Colin Miller in the lineup on Monday. Morrissey, who has seven goals and 39 assists (46 points) in 56 games this season, should re-claim his spot on the PP1 vs. the Sharks.
