Injured Winnipeg Jets centre Bryan Little and defenceman Toby Enstrom will both return to the ice when the club practices on Tuesday and could be in the lineup when the Jets next play Wednesday night against the Edmonton Oilers at MTS Centre.

“They’ll skate tomorrow and if they get through and they feel good then they will be players for us the next night,” Jets head coach Paul Maurice told reporters on Monday after his club returned to the ice at MTS Centre for the first time since an overtime loss in Boston to the Bruins last Friday.

Little was injured in the loss to Boston when he took a puck off the knee and he did not finish the game. He didn’t practise with the team on Monday and neither did Enstrom, who missed all of a three-game road trip last week with a lower-body injury.

Maurice had Mark Scheifele in place of Little on a line between Blake Wheeler and Andrew Ladd Monday morning, while Grant Clitsome has been playing in place of Enstrom on a pairing with Zach Bogosian the last three games.

Earlier Monday, a pair of Manitoba-born players and three Winnipeg Jets prospects were among the players named to the national junior hockey team selection camp roster.

Winnipegger Madison Bowey of the Kelowna Rockets and Elkhorn’s Travis Sanheim were joined on the roster by Jets prospects D Josh Morrissey, C Nik Petan and G Eric Comrie.

The Jets are the only NHL team with three prospects on the Canadian selection camp roster.

Training camp for the national junior team opens Dec. 11. The World Juniors runs Dec. 26-Jan. 5 in Toronto and Montreal.
