DENVER (AP) — Winnipeg defenseman Brenden Dillon is considered day-to-day after receiving stitches in his left hand where he was apparently cut by a skate blade.
The Jets face Colorado in Game 4 on Sunday in a first-round series the Avalanche lead 2-1.
Dillon suffered the laceration after the final horn of Colorado’s 6-2 win Friday, when several players were involved in a fight. Soon after, Dillon skated toward the locker room holding his bleeding hand. There was blood on the ice and on the back of Avalanche forward Brandon Duhaime’s jersey.
“Our doctors did a fantastic job of stitching (Dillon) up. There’s no damage and that’s the most important thing,” Jets coach Rick Bowness said Saturday. “So, we’ll keep him as day-to-day.”
The loss of Dillon would be a blow for the Jets. He’s the “heartbeat of the team,” teammate Neal Pionk said.
