Kupari (concussion) is slated to miss out versus the Ducks on Wednesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Kupari has played in just one of the Jets' last 19 games due to his lingering concussion symptoms. Given his extended absence, the Finnish winger is far from a lock for the lineup even once cleared to play and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch in favor of Morgan Barron or David Gustafsson.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Remains out Wednesday
Rotowire
Vilardi (upper body) isn't expected to play Wednesday versus Anaheim, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Vilardi didn't join the Jets for their practice, though he did skate on his own Wednesday. He'll finish the regular season with 27 goals and 61 points in 71 appearances. Vilardi hasn't been in the lineup since March 23, but he might still be an option for Game 1 of the first round.

Jets' Josh Morrissey: Expected to return against Anaheim
Rotowire
Morrissey (rest) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Ducks.
Morrissey rested during Sunday's loss to the Oilers, but he participated in Wednesday's morning skate and should be back in action against Anaheim. He's made 79 appearances this season, recording 14 goals, 47 assists, 110 blocked shots, 49 hits and 22 PIM while averaging 24:22 of ice time.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Slated to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Pionk (rest) is expected to draw back into the lineup Wednesday versus Anaheim.
Pionk was out of the lineup for Sunday's 4-1 loss to Edmonton so that he could get a breather before the playoffs. He has nine goals, 38 points, 114 hits and 99 blocks over 68 outings in 2024-25. Pionk is projected to play alongside Dylan Samberg against the Ducks.

Jets' Adam Lowry: Set to play against Ducks
Rotowire
Lowry (rest) is expected back in the lineup for Wednesday's season finale versus Anaheim.
Lowry will be back in action after getting the night off against Edmonton on Sunday. In his last nine games, the 32-year-old St. Louis native has generated two goals and three helpers to go with 15 shots, 20 hits and seven blocks. Lowry figures to slide back into his usual third-line center role but shouldn't be expected to see time with the man advantage.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: First goalie off
Rotowire
Hellebuyck was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Ducks.
Hellebuyck has picked up wins in each of his last three starts, posting a 1.62 GAA and .931 save percentage during that time, a span that includes a shutout win over Dallas last Thursday. He made a home start against the Ducks on Jan. 2 and turned aside 20 of 24 shots (.833 save percentage) in an overtime loss.

Jets' Alex Iafallo: Inks three-year deal
Rotowire
Iafallo secured a three-year, $11 million contract extension with Winnipeg on Wednesday.
Iafallo topped the 15-goal mark this year for the first time since 2021-22 when he was with the Kings and got back over the 30-point threshold after missing out last season. The 31-year-old natural center has cemented himself as a top-six winger this year, featuring primarily with Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor on the top line. Assuming Iafallo plays against the Ducks on Wednesday, he will have played in all 82 regular-season games in back-to-back years for Winnipeg.
Ehlers (foot) is week-to-week, and there's no timeline for his return to the lineup, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press on Tuesday.
Ehlers aggravated a previous injury in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over Chicago and didn't play in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Edmonton. He will be unavailable for Wednesday's regular-season finale against Anaheim, and he likely won't be ready for the beginning of the playoffs. Ehlers has amassed 24 goals, 63 points and 174 shots on net in 69 appearances this season.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Upgraded to day-to-day
Rotowire
Vilardi (upper body) is now considered day-to-day after getting back onto the ice Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
While Vilardi wasn't officially ruled out against the Ducks on Wednesday, it would seem like a quick turnaround to immediately press him back into action in a game that doesn't mean anything for the Jets. As such, the 25-year-old Ontario native will likely finish the regular season having recorded career bests in goals (27), assists (34) and power-play points (25).

Jets' Ville Heinola: Sees rare playing time
Rotowire
Heinola went minus-1 with a hit, a blocked shot and one shot on goal in 17:52 of ice time in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
Josh Morrissey, Neal Pionk and Luke Schenn were all out of the lineup, giving Heinola a rare chance to play as the Jets prepare for the postseason. This was Heinola's 18th outing this season -- while that is a career high, he has just one assist with 12 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-6 rating. The 24-year-old has played just twice since the start of February and will likely be back in the press box as a healthy scratch for the majority of the playoffs.

Jets' Colin Miller: Provides power-play helper
Rotowire
Miller notched a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
Miller got a chance to fill a larger role Sunday with Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk out of the lineup for rest. Prior to Sunday, Miller had been scratched for the previous three games. The 32-year-old has seen some power-play time recently when Pionk was out due to a lower-body injury. Overall, Miller has 15 points (two on the power play), 68 shots on net, 84 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 60 appearances this season. He may not be an every-game player in the postseason.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Slides power-play assist Sunday
Rotowire
Scheifele notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-4 rating in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
Scheifele has gotten on the scoresheet in 10 of the last 12 games, earning three goals and eight assists in that span. The center set up an Alex Iafallo goal in the second period. Scheifele is at 38 goals, 48 helpers, 177 shots on net, 73 hits, 58 blocked shots, 61 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 81 appearances. If he suits up Wednesday, it would be the third time that Scheifele will have played in all 82 games and his fifth season of playing in every available contest since he didn't miss a game in 2019-20 or 2020-21.

Jets' Alex Iafallo: Pots lone goal on power play
Rotowire
Iafallo scored a power-play goal on two shots, added three hits and went minus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
Iafallo's point streak is up to four games (two goals, two assists), and he has seven points over his last nine outings. The 31-year-old briefly tied the game at 1-1 with his second-period tally Sunday. He's up to 15 goals, 31 points, 106 shots on net, 53 hits, 61 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 81 appearances. The Jets are a little pinched with injuries at forward currently, so it's unclear if Iafallo will get rested Wednesday in the regular-season finale. If not, he'll play the full 82-game schedule for the third time in his career, including each of his two years with the Jets.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Comes up short Sunday
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 35 of 38 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Both teams were at less than full strength, but the Jets resting two of their top defensemen didn't make things easy for Comrie. He faced a lot of shots and wasn't able to keep enough pucks out, taking his second loss in four starts. The 29-year-old dropped to 9-10-1 on the year with a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 20 starts. The Jets' regular-season finale is at home Wednesday versus the Ducks, and it's not yet clear if head coach Scott Arniel will give Comrie another look or let Connor Hellebuyck get a final tune-up before the postseason.
Lowry (rest) is not playing in Sunday's home game versus Edmonton, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Lowry has registered 16 goals, 18 helpers and a plus-19 rating across 72 appearances in 2024-25. Morgan Barron will center the third line in Lowry's stead.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Given maintenance day
Rotowire
Pionk (rest) will not be in the lineup Sunday against the Oilers, according to Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Pionk has played in two games since missing 12 contests due to a lower-body injury, but he'll get the day off Sunday as the Jets have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Winnipeg's last game of the regular season is against the Ducks on Wednesday.

Jets' Josh Morrissey: Not in lineup Sunday
Rotowire
Morrissey (rest) won't play Sunday versus the Oilers, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
The Jets are locked into the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, so they are giving Morrissey and a few other players the day off Sunday. It's not yet known if the left-shot blueliner will be in the lineup for Winnipeg's regular-season finale Wednesday against the Ducks.
