When Tyler Myers misses practice, it's easy for Jets fans to think the worst.
Myers, who battled injuries all last season, didn't practise Thursday — but Jets head coach Paul Maurice says the lanky defenceman will play Friday against the Minnesota Wild.
"Yup, fine. A little stiffness from practice (Wednesday). He’ll be in (Friday)," said Maurice.
Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien returned to the ice after missing Wednesday's session and will also be in the lineup. Maurice said Ben Chiarot could make his first appearance of the season, in place of Tucker Poolman on the blue line.
