Jet down in Winnipeg.

Head coach Paul Maurice announced Wednesday that Jets forward Mathieu Perreault is out with a lower-body injury that could keep him out of the lineup for the remainder of the regular season, as reported by Jeff Hamilton of CBC.

Perreault was injured in Monday's win over Edmonton, and was seen wearing a walking boot following the game.

He recorded 18 goals and 18 assists in 56 games prior to the injury.

Carl Klingberg has been recalled to fill Perreault's spot in the lineup.
