Winnipeg Jets Shawn Matthias leaves game in 1st period with LBI

After getting caught up with Capitals defenceman Dmitri Orlov in the 1st period Jets winger Shawn Matthias was in considerable pain and stayed down on the ice for some time.  Eventually the trainers came to get him and #16 needed help to get off the ice, not putting any weight on his left leg.

Will wait for an update from coach Maurice post-game although we won’t likely know anything until tomorrow’s skate.

If the Jets have to pick up a Moose forward I would expect Andrew Copp to get the call next.

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.
