Veteran defenceman Dustin Byfuglien will return to the Winnipeg lineup when the Jets host the Vancouver Canucks tonight at Bell MTS Place.

Game time is 7 p.m.

Jets head coach Dustin Byfuglien, who missed two games with an upper-body injury, will replace Dmitry Kulikov in the lineup and return to a pairing with Ben Chariot.

Byfuglien's physical presence has been lacking but his teammates have also missed the emotional spark he brings to the club.
