In a tightly contested contest the Bruins Karson Kuhlman laid a big body-check on Mathieu Perreault who was slow to get up and went down the tunnel to the Jets dressing room.

Jets PR would later indicate that “Mathieu Perreault will not return to tonight’s game due to an upper body injury”.

Update:

Following the game Jets bench boss Paul Maurice didn’t have much of an update simply saying “Nothing yet. But I’ll give you something tomorrow. I’ll have a better idea tomorrow.”.
