The heavy-hitting forward has been out since April 6 with a lower-body injury.
The man worth five draft picks appears poised to play his first postseason game as a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning Thursday night.
Jeannot injured his leg two weeks ago in a game against the New York Islanders, and his then-ominous projected recovery timeline sounded much longer than two weeks. He’ll be back just in time to replace injured bottom-six forward Mikey Eyssimont, who was injured on a hit from Jake McCabe in Game 1.
