The Winnipeg Jets made the huge move to get Gabriel Vilardi this summer, and while he's been productive on the ice, his injury issues are a major concern.
The former Los Angeles Kings star came over in the deal that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois West, and in 38 games for the Jets this season, he's been fantastic, tallying 16 goals and 30 points over that time.
Now, there's been a major update in the story, with NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman revealing that the team are preparing for Vilardi to return to the lineup at some point this year.
«Winnipeg is operating under the assumption Gabe Vilardi will return this season, which is great to hear.»
When healthy, Vilardi adds yet another weapon to a lineup already highlighted by Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, Josh Morrisey, Tyler Toffoli and many other weapons. With Connor Hellebuyck in net, this team is shaping up to be a genuine contender, and when healthy, there's few teams in the Western Conference that can matchup to their star power.
