The Winnipeg Jets have placed forward Pierre-Luc Dubois on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury, the team announced Wednesday.
The move is retroactive, as
Sportsnet s Ken Wiebe points out, and does not rule Dubois out from returning for Winnipeg s game at the Vancouver Canucks on Friday.
Dubois has missed the Jets last two games after something tightened up on him during practice last Friday. The 22-year-old has been held pointless while averaging 15:18 of ice time in the pair of contests since joining Winnipeg last month in a blockbuster trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
