The Winnipeg Jets lost another important defenseman to injury during Thursday's game against the Florida Panthers.

Tyler Myers left the contest with an upper-body ailment, potentially joining Bryan Little and blue-liner Dustin Byfuglien on Winnipeg's growing list of injured players.

Myers suffered the injury after sliding into the end boards in the second period. 

He left for the dressing room, then returned for the start of the third period before being ruled out for the rest of the game.

The blue-liner entered Thursday with nine points in 11 games since joining the Jets.
