DALLAS — The Winnipeg Jets will be without Bryan Little for the rest of the regular season.
Jets head coach Paul Maurice revealed on Thursday that tests have shown Little suffered a compression fracture of his T-6 vertebrae.
“That’s as technical as I can get for you,” said Maurice. “It’s mid-to-lower back, so it was a significant amount of force that called the compression fracture and he will be out for the remainder of the regular season.
“I think it’s an eight-week injury. But coming off that injury, we would expect because it’s stable and again, I’m not a doctor – but it’s the big bone of your spine.
