Dustin Byfuglien has collected five assists in the past two games for Winnipeg.

In both games he picked up a power-play assist to help the Jets open the scoring on markers from Nik Antropov. "Write this down: we've scored a power-play goal in every game the last two games and we've won," coach Claude Noel said. "We've won the special-teams game there and make sure you make a note of that. You guys have been grilling us forever."

Dustin Byfuglien returned to action on Tuesday March 5.

Dustin Byfuglien didn't practice Monday because he was attending to a personal matter back home in Minnesota.

He is expected to travel to Florida tomorrow and be in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Panthers as long as the weather doesn't hinder his travel arrangements. "You'd have to be a little bit concerned because they are expecting bad weather all the way from Winnipeg down to Minny and Chicago," coach Claude Noel said. Derek Meech will play in Byfuglien's place if he can't make it in time.
