Kupari agreed to terms on a two-year contract with HC Lugano on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kupari is scheduled to be a restricted free agent this offseason, so the Jets will need to give him a qualifying offer in order to retain his NHL rights. While this certainly doesn't close the door on a potential return, the 25-year-old center will need to impress while in Switzerland to put himself back on the NHL radar.

Kupari (concussion) has been medically cleared to return to the lineup, per Murat Ates of The Athletic on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kupari participated fully in Sunday's practice and will need to get into more on-ice sessions with contact before being an option to play. He will likely be a healthy scratch against the Blues on Monday in Game 2. Kupari had five goals, eight points, 53 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 77 hits in 59 outings during the 2024-25 regular season.

Kupari (concussion) will sit out the opening game of the playoffs against St. Louis on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kupari suffered the injury against the Islanders on March 4 and tried to play March 25 against Washington following a nine-game absence but lasted only 5:44 before symptoms reappeared. He missed the final 10 games of the regular season, finishing with five goals and eight points in 59 appearances.

Kupari (concussion) is slated to miss out versus the Ducks on Wednesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kupari has played in just one of the Jets' last 19 games due to his lingering concussion symptoms. Given his extended absence, the Finnish winger is far from a lock for the lineup even once cleared to play and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch in favor of Morgan Barron or David Gustafsson.

Kupari (concussion) won't play against Chicago on Saturday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports, and likely won't be an option for Sunday's matchup versus Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Kupari accompanied the Jets on the team's two-game road trip, but his return to the lineup is not imminent. It's unclear if he'll play again before the end of the regular season. He has five goals, eight points, 53 shots on net and 77 hits across 59 appearances this season.

Kupari (concussion) will travel with the Jets to Dallas, but he isn't expected to play against the Stars on Thursday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

EDGE Analysis

Kupari hasn't been in the lineup since March 25. He has five goals and eight points in 59 appearances in 2024-25. Kupari will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's ready to return.

Kupari (concussion) won't play Thursday versus the Golden Knights, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's safe to assume Kupari won't an option until the Jets return home, so don't expect to see him in the lineup Saturday versus Utah either. The 25-year-old is dealing with a recurrence of concussion symptoms, which makes it tough to pin down when he'll be able to play again.

Head coach Scott Arniel said Friday that Kupari experienced "a bit of a setback" related to his previous concussion and is considered day-to-day, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kupari dealt with a concussion in early March and had been a healthy scratch recently, but he returned to action Tuesday against Washington and recorded 5:44 of ice time in the win. However, he's apparently still hampered by his injury and will be unavailable for at least one more game. It's not yet known when he'll be medically cleared to return.

Kupari (concussion) has received medial clearance to play but won't be in the lineup against the Rangers on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morgan Barron will remain in the lineup to give him a longer look as the fourth-line center. Kupari has contributed five goals, eight points, 52 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 77 hits across 58 appearances this season. He missed three games while going through concussion protocol.

Kupari entered the NHL's concussion protocol following his injury against the Islanders on Tuesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kupari shouldn't be expected to play during the rest of the Jets' road trip considering they play three games over the next four days. In his 58 appearances this season, the 24-year-old center recorded five goals, three assists and 52 shots in 58 outings. Without Kupari in the lineup, David Gustafsson figures to get back into action after being a healthy scratch the previous two games.
