Enstrom (lower body) has been ruled out for Game 1 versus the Wild on Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Enstrom has yet to resume skating is certainly not good news for fantasy owners. It seems unlikely he will be ready to go any time soon and may need his teammates to get to the second round of the playoffs in order to get back on the ice. Without the 32-year-old, the Jets will turn to deadline acquisition Joe Morrow on the blue line.

Enstrom (lower body) won't play against during the regular season, Brian Munz of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
This won't make much of an impact on fantasy owners, as Enstrom only had six points in 43 games this year. However, the Jets will have to make due without one of their regular defenseman until the postseason. It will shake things up in Winnipeg, but at least this news means everybody knows what to expect down the stretch.

Enstrom sustained a lower-body injury in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
It seems that Enstrom is always hurt these days, which is quite unfortunate for a Jets team that's going to wind up in the postseason. Of course, the Swede hasn't been relevant in fantasy hockey for a few years now, even though he likely has name recognition for dropping 101 points between 2009-11 -- when the Jets were located in Atlanta and called the Thrashers. At any rate, expect the blueliner to be reevaluated ahead of Sunday's home clash with the Predators.

Enstrom (undisclosed) will draw into the lineup against Dallas on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
An undisclosed and lower-body injury have cost Enstrom to miss eight of his last nine games, but he's finally at a clean bill of health. Although the 33-year-old has been dealing with injuries throughout 2017-18, he's only posted six points (one goal, five assists) in 40 games, and still has some work to do if he wants to record at least 10 points for the 10th straight season -- although he will draw onto the first pairing with Dustin Byfuglien in his return, which will help his cause.

Enstrom (undisclosed) was described as "close" by coach Paul Maurice, Sara Orlesky of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The underlying news here is that Enstrom may be close, but won't be in action for Thursday's clash with Chicago. Winnipeg is already without Dmitry Kulikov (upper body), but may get back Jacob Trouba (ankle) versus the Blackhawks. Once Enstrom is cleared to play, he should get back to see upwards of 18 minutes per night.

Enstrom (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's clash with Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Enstrom was rumored to be nearing a return, but coach Paul Maurice told reporters, "I'm keeping him out (Tuesday),". Once given the all-clear, the defenseman should bump Tucker Poolman from the lineup. Offensively the 32-year-old Enstrom hasn't offered much this season (six points); however, his defensive prowess (plus-7 rating) makes him invaluable to the team's playoff hopes.

Enstrom (undisclosed) might be available against the Predators on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it's certainly a good sign that Enstrom has a target return date, the news does effectively eliminate him from contention for Monday's matchup with Washington. The Jets are extremely banged up on the blue line -- Jacob Trouba (ankle) and Dmitry Kulikov (upper body) both remain sidelined -- so the sooner the club can get Enstrom back to 100 percent the better. Tucker Poolman has been brought up from the minors to fill the gaps in the lineup for the time being.

Enstrom missed pregame warmups Saturday afternoon ahead of a road game against the Flyers, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
We're not aware of an injury to Enstrom, so it's likely that he's simply getting rest after recording 20-plus minutes in each of his last two games. He'll reportedly be replaced by Tucker Poolman, who was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Saturday morning.

Enstrom saw over 20 minutes of action in his return from a four-game absence.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately for fantasy owners, Enstrom's only statistical contribution was a pair of blocks. When healthy, the 32-year-old has struggled to produce this season, as he has just seven points in 40 games. Being paired with an offensively-minded player like Dustin Byfuglien could certainly be limiting the opportunities Enstrom has to jump up into the play in the attacking zone.

Enstrom (lower body) will be back in action versus New Jersey on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports
EDGE Analysis
Enstrom will return following a four-game stint on the sidelines. While coach Paul Maurice wouldn't confirm which defenseman comes out for the Swede, Ben Chiarot or newly acquired Joe Morrow would seem to be the most obvious candidates. The 32-year-old Enstrom has been limited by injuries all season, which has held him to six points and 39 outings. If he can stay healthy the rest of the way, he could help the Jets make a deep postseason run when the time comes.
