Dubois out vs. Senators due to lower-body injury

Winnipeg Jets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and is unavailable for Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators, head coach Paul Maurice announced, according to Sportsnet's Ken Wiebe.

Dubois left Friday's practice early, but Maurice labeled him as probable for Saturday's contest at the time.

Jets forward Kristian Vesalainen will draw into the lineup with Dubois out. Winnipeg will continue to ice 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Dubois, 22, has played two games for the Jets since they acquired him for Patrik Laine. He's gone pointless with Winnipeg thus far while averaging over 15 minutes of ice time per contest.
