Winnipeg Jets forward Gabe Vilardi confirmed he will return to the lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against the St. Louis Blues, according to The Athletic's Murat Ates.
Vilardi's been out of action since March 23 because of an upper-body injury. He practiced on the first line with Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor as well as the top power-play unit.
The 25-year-old registered a career-high 61 points in 71 games this season.
The Blues won the past two games to tie the first-round series 2-2.
