I have been waiting to see my favorite player, Jesse Gimblett, return to the lineup but it has been awhile. Is he injured or has he been a healthy scratch? Just hoping for an update.

Also, what ever happened to Joe Loprieno?

Reply: Jesse is actually on the road trip with the team right now in Idaho, with the hopes that he will be able to play this week. We have no confirmation as to whether or not that will happen, however. He injured himself in early February and has been on injured reserve ever since.

Joe Loprieno is out injured and has been on the 21-day IR for about a month. It does not appear realistic to expect him to be back this season.
