Young forward's injury taking time to heal completely
Skyler McKenzie had a lot more fun a year ago at Winnipeg Jets training camp than he’s having now.
McKenzie stole some of the spotlight from the usual cast of stars, scoring three goals while suiting up in two NHL pre-season games last fall. But he’s been relegated to the shadows at this camp, through no fault of his own.
The 21-year-old forward skated away from the crowd for several days but finally shared the ice Thursday with a large group of Jets hopefuls, as his road back from surgery for an undisclosed lower-body injury continues.
