Jets' Perreault reportedly leaves in walking boot after suffering lower-body injury

Winnipeg Jets forward Mathieu Perreault left Monday's game against the Edmonton Oilers after suffering an injury early in the first period.

Perreault landed awkwardly after being hit by Oilers defenseman Jeff Petry along the boards.

He was helped to the dressing room and couldn't put much weight on his left leg.

Perreault did not return to Monday's game due to a lower-body injury, the Jets announced.

He was seen leaving the arena in a walking boot, according to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun.
