Wayward puck at practice causes Wheeler grief
JOE BRYKSA / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FILESFriendly fire has left a question mark for the Winnipeg Jets as they prepare for Saturday’s home contest against the Arizona Coyotes.
Right-winger Blake Wheeler was felled by a high shot from teammate Dustin Byfuglien late in this morning’s practice at the MTS Centre.
The puck struck Wheeler on the right side of his head. He was in some distress on the ice before receiving attention from the team’s training staff.
Once he got upright again, Wheeler was able to skate off, holding a towel, presumably with an icepack inside, against his head.
