EDGE Analysis

Harkins' demotion suggests Cole Perfetti (upper body) may be on track to return Friday versus Tampa Bay. Harkins has racked up 20 points through 33 top-level appearances this year, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the big club sooner rather than later.

Harkins scored a goal in Winnipeg's 3-2 loss to Boston on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins found the back of the net at 7:20 of the first period to put the Jets up 2-0, but Winnipeg failed to hold onto that early lead. It was his third goal and fifth point in 18 contests this season.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins was labeled a game-time call for this one,but he's good to go in a third-line role. He has just one assist in his last six games and could be at risk of losing playing time to Karson Kuhlman going forward.
