The Winnipeg Jets will be without defenseman Dustin Byfuglien for the remainder of Friday’s exhibition game versus the Edmonton Oilers.
The Jets announced that Byfuglien will not return for the third period due to a lower-body injury.
Byfuglien was involved in a scuffle with Matt Hendricks earlier in the game. Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reported on Twitter that Byfuglien went to the dressing room during the off-setting penalties.
Update: The Jets later announced that Byfuglien was held out of the remainder of the game for “precautionary reasons.”
