Jets' Letestu shut down for 6 months with myocarditis
by Matt Teague from on (#4TFW4)
Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Letestu will miss at least six months after being diagnosed with myocarditis, a virus that attacks the heart, head coach Paul Maurice confirmed Thursday to Jets reporter Mitchell Clinton.
Letestu's long-term health is not in question, but the 34-year-old will only be able to take part in light physical activity.
The veteran forward inked a one-year, $700,000 pact with the Jets in July and has appeared in seven games for the club this season.
