Neal Pionk Sits Out On Saturday Night
4 years agoWinnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk (undisclosed) won't play on Saturday against Ottawa and is listed day-to-day. His injury is described as a very minor problem, so there seems to be a strong chance that he returns for Monday's meeting with Vancouver. Pionk had played in every single game so far this season for the Jets, and he's been the team's most prolific blueliner with 31 points in 52 outings. The 25-year-old has also been a big force on the defensive end with 133 hits. His spot will go to Jordie Benn on Saturday. The veteran will make only his fifth appearance for the team since arriving from Vancouver last month.
