Connor missed three games last week while in COVID-19 protocol but was back at practice on Monday and should be in the lineup on Wednesday. Connor has been red-hot for the last few months, posting 40 points (18G / 22A) in his last 27 games.

Barron was acquired from the Rangers in the Andrew Copp trade and has scored one goal with one assist in five games since reporting to Manitoba. He could make his Jets debut on Thursday after being recalled and joining the team in Toronto.

Connor tested positive at the rink this morning and will not be available for Wednesday's game in Buffalo. He's also in danger of missing tomorrow's game in Toronto and Saturday's game vs. the Kings. In addition to Connor, Nate Schmidt was also added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Wednesday.

Fleury will miss Saturday's game in Los Angeles with an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. Derrick Pouliot is expected to make his Kraken debut and replace Fleury in the lineup.

Lowry missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is set to play Friday. Lowry will be back in his traditional third-line centre role and comes in with 17 points (10G / 7A) in 62 games.
