Bryan Little is out indefinitely with an undisclosed injury. Little left the game Vs. Carolina following a collision with Hurricanes forward Brian Bickell. This injury bumps Mathieu Perrault up to the second line to replace Little.
Little only played 57 games last season after being sidelined with a season ending injury. Last season, he had 17 goals, 25 assists, for a total of 42 points. In the game against the Hurricanes, he had 1 assist before leaving the game.
This injury could most definitely affect the Winnipeg Jets playoff chances. They are losing their second line center, who will be well replaced by Perreault, but no matter who replaces him it’s not easy to lose one of your best centerman.
