Jets star winger Patrik Laine to miss at least two games with bruise on left foot
WINNIPEG — Head coach Paul Maurice delivered some positive news Thursday to worried fans of injured Winnipeg Jets sniper Patrik Laine.
The team’s leading goal-scorer isn’t seriously hurt, but did suffer a soft-tissue bruise when he blocked a shot with his left foot in Tuesday’s 2-1 overtime victory against Los Angeles.
Laine will miss Friday’s home game against Anaheim and also likely Sunday’s match versus Nashville.
“There’s nothing broken and he’s got a bruise,” Maurice said after practice. “When he gets his foot in the (skate) boot and feels comfortable, he’ll be back playing.”
