Winnipeg Jets forward Shawn Matthias injury update

Back on March 13th a fight between Shawn Matthias and the Predators Cody McLeod ended the Jets forward’s season.  “As soon as he grabbed my shoulder it just came out” Matthias told us in his end of season media scrum also indicating that this was a pre-existing condition that went all the way back to his Junior days.

Today we got an update via his Instagram account indicating that his shoulder rehab is progressing:

It was an injury plagued 2016-17 season for the Jets forward but it sounds like he will be healthy for the first time in quite awhile when the 2017-18 year kicks off.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
