As I expected the Jets bench boss announced today that the team is hoping to have centre Bryan Little back for the end of November according to Sean Reynolds of Sportsnet. You could tell when coach Maurice indicated that he would give us an idea in a week or so that it was then that he would be revealing the length of time that the 2nd line centre would be missing as opposed to telling us he was expecting him to return relatively soon.
It will be a big absence felt by the Jets who will be without a top face-off leader at a time when the team is second last in the league in the category, in addition to all the other areas that this team will miss Little.
