Jets defenceman Ville Heinola will be out at least two months after suffering a fractured ankle in their final pre-season game on Thursday.
, who appeared set to finally make the team’s opening night roster, will be out long-term after he suffered a fractured ankle in their final pre-season game on Thursday.
“They keep telling us a fracture is better than a high ankle sprain,” Jets head coach Rick Bowness said. “Regardless, either one of them, they’re going to be out for a long time, so you’re looking at — I have no idea, I’m not a doctor — eight weeks, eight to 10, 12 weeks, who knows.”Surgery is a possibility but the injury still needs further evaluation.
