Days after getting one veteran defenceman back, the Winnipeg Jets have lost another key blue-liner.
Dylan DeMelo has been placed on injured reserve, the Jets announced Friday. He exited with a lower-body injury Thursday against the Dallas Stars.
After the game, head coach Scott Arniel told reporters in Dallas that DeMelo will be week-to-week.
The Jets just got Josh Morrissey back in the lineup earlier this week after an injury absence.
The veteran blue-liner got his right leg caught under a falling Mikko Rantanen and went straight down the tunnel halfway through the first period.
DeMelo had a goal and seven assists through 19 games entering Thursday.
Henry Thrun has been recalled from AHL Manitoba to take DeMelo's place on the roster. He has one goal and six assists in 14 games with the Moose this season.
Thrun played four games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season and 55 with the AHL Marlies.
