The Winnipeg Jets' blue line was dealt a pair of big blows on Friday.
Defenseman Mark Stuart took a puck to the face and left early, compounding matters for a unit already missing Dustin Byfuglien, who was ruled out for two-to-four weeks following the session.
Stuart is being evaluated but isn't expected to miss much time, according to head coach Paul Maurice.
The rearguard has 12 points in 54 games, and ranks 10th on the club in time on ice with 18:50.
