The Winnipeg Jets will be considerably thinner up front against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.

Jets forwards Mathieu Perreault and Joel Armia will both miss the game due to injuries sustained Thursday night against the Washington Capitals.

Head coach Paul Maurice told reporters Friday that Perreault is considered day to day, while Armia has gone back to Winnipeg to have tests performed for what Maurice said is "not a day to day situation."

Nicolas Petan will play against the Red Wings after being recalled earlier Friday. The 21-year-old has four goals in nine games for the AHL's Manitoba Moose and appeared in 26 NHL games last season.

Perreault has one goal and two assists in 11 games, while Armia has four points in 10 contests.
