TSN: Dustin Byfuglien had ankle surgery about seven weeks ago. Darren Dreger said they don’t know if he’s any closer to rejoining the Winnipeg Jets/playing in the NHL. It’s not known when he’ll be able to start skating.
“But, because of the pending arb case, the Winnipeg Jets are also kept in form. But he’s still dealing with the rehabilitation clinic outside of the Jets organization. His status with the NHL club remains unchanged and that grievance hearing has yet to be scheduled.”
Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun: Byfuglien’s rehab is being lead by an independent medical staff but there has been ongoing communication about his overall treatment.
