Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Back at practiceNovember 20, 2023 | 12:34 PM

Vilardi (knee) practiced with his teammates Monday for the first time since suffering a knee injury Oct. 17 against the Kings, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports. Although this was obviously a step in the right direction for Vilardi, he still practiced in a non-contact jersey Monday, and while Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun believes there's a chance Vilardi could return Sunday against Nashville, Billeck thinks a more realistic target for the 24-year-old's return is Nov. 28 against the Stars. Once given the green light, look for Vilardi to step into a top-six role and a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.
