Paul Maurice announced today at his game day morning interview that Tyler Myers underwent lower-body surgery yesterday. He won’t be back to the Winnipeg Jets lineup for at least 6-8 weeks, penciling him back on the active roster for no more than the last ten games of this 2016-17 season.
Maurice wouldn’t indicate exactly what the injury is, but did confirm his hip, and knee injuries were not a part of this. He said 90% of athletes are able to avoid surgery with this injury, Myers not being one. What a setback this is for the Jets, who’ve lacked Tyler Myers at all levels this season.
