It's next man up on the Winnipeg blue line.
The Jets recalled Ville Heinola from the AHL's Manitoba Moose and placed fellow defenceman Dylan Samberg on injured reserve, the team announced on Sunday.
Samberg broke his foot on Saturday after blocking a shot by Nashville Predators forward Steven Stamkos.
The 25-year-old has three goals and three assists in 21 games this season.
Heinola, the former first-round pick, has played 35 games in his NHL career — all with the Jets.
The 23-year-old from Finland has one goal and 10 assists in that time. He was on a conditioning stint with the Moose following off-season ankle surgery.
