Lian Bichsel returns to the lineup, Nino Niederreiter considered week-to-week

Bichsel has been out of Dallas' lineup since the end of November and was placed on LTIR in early December. In 26 games, he has recorded one goal and two assists for the Stars.

As for Nino Niederreiter, the Winnipeg Jets' head coach Scott Arniel told beat reporter Mitchell Clinton that Nino Niederreiter is week-to-week. The forward practised on Tuesday, but it did not go well. 

Niederreiter told Klaus Zaugg (CH-Media, published in the "Luzerner Zeitung") during the Olympics that he had been dealing with an injury the entire season: "water on the knee," or a knee effusion. Whether his current injury is related to that is not clear. He is considered week-to-week.
