EDMONTON — After 33 games on the injured list, Winnipeg Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec makes his return to the NHL tonight against the Edmonton Oilers.
It’s a late Hockey Night in Canada start at 9 p.m. CT.
Pavelec has been out since Nov. 21 and comes back to a Jets team that is eight points off the Western Conference playoff line.
At 51 points and last in the Central, the Jets have two more than the Pacific basement-dwellers in the Oilers.
