Jets' Stuart out until February with lower-body injury

The Winnipeg Jets might soon need to fly in reinforcements on the blue line.

Head coach Paul Maurice announced Thursday defenseman Mark Stuart will be out until February with a lower-body injury.

The news comes with the club already beset by injuries, playing without Toby Enstrom, Zach Bogosian and Jacob Trouba, who is also out until February.

At least they have Ondrej Pavelec in net to lock things down.
