"He's been going through a battery of tests," Jets' coach Paul Maurice said. "We got some results last night, and there's a bit of a red flag in one of them. So he's not going to travel today in order for him to test here either later today or tomorrow. And then we'll proceed based on those results." There is still a chance that Little could join the team in Pittsburgh for Saturday's contest. He has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury.

He has 17 goals and 25 assists in 57 games this season. Little's possession metrics are good as both his Corsi For Percentage (54.0) and his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength (3.7) are above his career average. However, his plus/minus of minus-13 represents a career low.
