Winnipeg Jets prospect Nic Petan doesn’t return after hit

Last night Jets prospect Nic Petan was playing with his Portland Winterhawks at home in a game against the Seattle Thunderbirds in WHL action.  He took a pretty brutal hit to the head by the Thunderbirds Evan Wardley who was given a five minute major for the hit.  We will advise as to Petan’s status when we hear more.  For now here is the hit that cost him the rest of last night’s game:

Our thanks to Guy Flaming (The Pipeline Show on TSN 1260) for alerting us to the injury.

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.
