Heinola will miss between eight and 12 weeks with a fractured left ankle after colliding with Senators defenseman Erik Brannstrom.
Rick Bowness went from raving about ’s play at Winnipeg Jets camp Thursday morning to saying “It’s not a short-term injury” Thursday night. Now the news is official: Heinola will miss between eight and 12 weeks with a fractured left ankle after colliding awkwardly with defenseman on Thursday in Winnipeg. Advertisement Heinola goes from the precipice of winning a job at camp to the injured reserve for 70 days of the 192 in the season and will return home to be with his family as he heals.
There are silver linings — a fracture is meant to heal better than a sprain, for one, while Heinola will make NHL money with the Jets placing him on injured reserve. Neither of these will come close to solace for a young player who had the chance to start the season with the Jets. What this means for Winnipeg The Jets started training camp with an array of difficult decisions to make. “Defensive logjam” was a phrase used so often in Winnipeg it had begun to lose meaning.
