ST PAUL, MN - APRIL 15: Tyler Myers #57 of the Winnipeg Jets lays on the ice during the second period in Game Three of the Western Conference First Round against the Minnesota Wild during the 2018 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at Xcel Energy Center on April 15, 2018 in St Paul, Minnesota.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Tyler Myers left Sunday's game in the second period and did not return for the third after sustaining an undisclosed injury, the team announced.

Myers appeared to be hurt late in the second period after Wild forward Marcus Foligno slid into him, causing him to awkwardly fall into the boards.

Any significant injury to Myers would be a huge blow to the Jets. The 28-year-old has been the club's best defenseman through the first three games, having scored two goals - including one Sunday night - and three points.

Following the team's 6-2 loss, head coach Paul Maurice said the club would know more about Myers' injury on Monday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
