Jets' Slater (Hip) Will Play Saturday
Slater (hip) will play in Saturday's exhibition game against the Wild, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.Slater had hip surgery performed during the offseason and will try to piece together a more complete season in 2014-15 when considering that he was limited to just 27 games last year with a hernia and 26 in 2012-13. Because of his injury-laden past, Slater's value will be curbed coming into the regular season, and rightly so.

Jets' Slater Receives Full Medical Clearance
Slater (sports hernia) has received full medical clearance to return to the lineup, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.The only issue standing in his way is a crowded roster that's similarly healthy and might not have any immediate openings. The Jets would have to demote a player to the minors to make room for Slater's return from IR, which might lead coach Paul Maurice to simply let the forward rest up for a few more games before making any roster decisions.
