Winnipeg bench boss Claude Noel is hoping to have defenseman Mark Stuart (undisclosed) back in the lineup on Sunday night against the New York Rangers. He has missed the team's past two games with an undisclosed injury. The Jets are missing three players from their top-six defense corps and five blueliners are injured in total, so getting their shot-blocking leader back would be a big help.
