Neal Pionk Injury: Absent from lineup Friday

Published on January 9, 2026

Pionk (foot) is not playing Friday versus the Kings, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Pionk blocked a shot off his foot in the Jets' last game and is apparently not fit enough to play. Colin Miller will come into the lineup to replace him, while Dylan DeMelo should see a bump in ice time to cover Pionk's absence.
