What It Means:

Little could return on Sunday against the Nashville Predators, but likely won't join the team before the end of their current road trip. He hasn't played since the Jets' season-opener on October 13.

The 29-year-old center notched an assist in his only 2:48 of ice time this season, which puts him on a pretty astounding pace for the year. Our models currently project him to score another 12 goals with 22 assists over the remainder of the campaign.
