The Winnipeg Jets will be without Dustin Byfuglien two to four weeks due to an upper-body injury.
The bad news piled up on Friday for the Jets, who are fighting for their playoff lives as Head Coach Paul Maurice announced that centre Bryan Little would also miss a week after taking a check from Bobby Ryan Wednesday night.
Mark Stuart also left practice early after taking a puck in the face. Maurice said he would be re-evaluated.
The Jets start a four-game road trip in Nashville Saturday night. The Predators have lost five straight.
Eric O’Dell has been recalled from St. John’s.
