Vladislav Namestnikov - Doubtful ThursdayNamestnikov (lower body) will join the Jets on their four-game road trip but is a doubt to face Colorado on Thursday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

ImpactNamestnikov is poised to miss his third consecutive contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. The Russia center has scored just one goal in his last 17 contests, adding seven assists but only 23 shots along the way. Cole Perfetti figures to hold down the second-line center role while Namestnikov is sidelined.

Ville Heinola - Begins skating TuesdayHeinola (ankle) was on the ice without gear Tuesday but remains a ways away from returning, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

ImpactHeinola was given a 2-3 month recovery timeline and is still on track to meet that target according to coach Rick Bowness. Considering the 22-year-old defender has a combined 35 NHL games over the last four seasons, he probably will be headed to the minors once given the all-clear and figures to remain a fringe roster player.
