Jets' Myers leaves Game 3 with injury

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Tyler Myers left Sunday's game in the second period and did not return for the third after sustaining an undisclosed injury, the team announced.

Myers appeared to be hurt late in the second period after Wild forward Marcus Foligno slid into him, causing him to awkwardly fall into the boards.

Any significant injury to Myers would be a huge blow to the Jets. The 28-year-old has been the club's best defenseman through the first three games, having scored two goals - including one Sunday night - and three points.

Following the team's 6-2 loss, head coach Paul Maurice said the club would know more about Myers' injury on Monday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
