Dubois set to return vs. Canucks after 4-game absence
Winnipeg Jets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois will return to the lineup Sunday versus the Vancouver Canucks.
"I've never been more ready to go," he said, per Sportsnet's Ken Wiebe.
Dubois missed Winnipeg's last four games due to what he called a "muscle injury."
It appears he'll get a chance to skate on the Jets' top line.

Dubois -- Scheifele - Wheeler
Connor -- Stastny - Ehlers
Copp -- Lowry - Appleton
Perreault -- Thompson -- Lewis
Winnipeg acquired Dubois from the Columbus Blue Jackets earlier this season in a blockbuster trade that sent Patrik Laine the other way. He only appeared in two games with his new team before being sidelined and was held pointless in both contests.
The Jets enter Sunday's game with a 10-6-1 record, good for third place in the North Division.
