Winnipeg Jets defenseman Nathan Beaulieu will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, the team announced Friday.
The 28-year-old hasn't played since March 9. Beaulieu recorded one assist in 25 games this campaign.
The Jets can now place Beaulieu's $1.25-million cap hit on long-term injured reserve, giving the club increased cap flexibility ahead of the trade deadline.
