Hoo-hum… Another day, another Winnipeg Jet that has been placed on the Injured Reserve.
After falling into the boards awkwardly against the Washington Capitals, Shawn Matthias left the ice without putting any pressure on his left leg. It looked apparent it was going to be a severe knee injury, and so far that’s what we’ve got. Although Matthias’ tests aren’t done yet on his knee, he’s already been placed on the Injured Reserve, and is out “week-to-week”.
To counter that move, the Jets also recalled late preseason cut Andrew Copp to the big club. In eight games with the Manitoba Moose this season, Andrew has five assists, a scoring pace that won’t be expected in Winnipeg.
