Sean Monahan, a forward for the NHL Jets, was absent from the pre-game skate and did not participate in the game due to an illness. His absence was noted during the pre-game skate, and it was later confirmed by the team's PR that he would miss the game because of his illness. The Jets' power play, which has scored six goals in their last four games, had to adjust without Monahan, with Alex Iafallo being moved up to the top power play unit after Jason Zucker was called for interference. The illness reportedly hit Monahan after he arrived at the rink, leading to his being sent home. His status for the upcoming game against St. Louis remains undetermined.
