Jets' Byfuglien escapes significant injury, will be in lineup vs. Wild
by from on (#10T6B)
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien will dress Friday versus the Minnesota Wild despite a distressing exit from Thursday's win over the Nashville Predators, head coach Paul Maurice announced.
Byfuglien was writhing in what appeared to be considerable pain in the third after becoming entangled and pulled down to the ice by hard-charging Predators forward Cody Bass.
He didn't return, but Maurice quickly tempered concerns in telling reporters postgame that Byfuglien would travel.
He had two goals and a plus-3 rating, having already logged more than 20 minutes prior to his exit.
