Status report
Jesper Boqvist skated Tuesday morning and is expected to play; he missed practice Monday following a check from Pionk in the Panthers’ 5-0 win at Florida on Saturday. Pionk was fined by the Department of Player Safety for clipping. … Panthers coach Paul Maurice says Gadjovich will enter the lineup in place of Samoskevich, a forward. … The Jets activated defenseman Ville Heinola from injured reserve Monday and loaned him to Manitoba of the American Hockey League for conditioning purposes. … Winnipeg will dress the same lineup it used Saturday.
