Sergei Belski / USA TODAY Sports

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Tobias Enstrom left Saturday night's preseason game against the Calgary Flames late in the third period after a hard hit from Mikael Backlund.

Enstrom managed to turn and avoid going into the boards head-first, but remained down for a brief period before making his way to the dressing room.

Backlund was given a two-minute boarding penalty much to the displeasure of Jets coach Paul Maurice.
