Pavelec out 'about a week' with lower-body injury

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec will be sidelined "about a week" with a lower-body injury, coach Paul Maurice told Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun.

Pavelec suffered the injury Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild, after which Connor Hellebuyck relieved him midway through the second period.

Pavelec has appeared in eight games since his recall on Jan. 17. The veteran netminder has posted a 4-4-0 record in that time, alongside an .888 save percentage and 3.55 goals-against average.
