Bogosian will be a healthy scratch Tuesday against the Islanders, Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Bogosian opened the season with a bang with two assists, but his production has trailed off since then, as the blueliner has mustered only one point in his last seven games. The dry spell in the scoring categories isn't unusual for any defenseman, but Bogosian has further rankled the Jets with his defensive regression of late. Bogosian's move to the press box is likely just a one-time deal to give him time to recharge his batteries, but the clock is ticking for the 24-year-old to live up to the huge expectations placed on him when he was drafted third overall in 2008.
