WINNIPEG - Every time the Wild play the Jets it seems like someone gets hurt. Last night it was Zach Bogosian who left with an injury.
The last time the Wild were in Winnipeg, Kirill Kaprizov, Vinni Lettieiri, and Filip Gustavsson all got hurt.
Last night it was Bogosian who left in the first period after attempting to make a hit on Neal Pionk. He hunched over after the hit and skated toward the slot where he then was hit by a Josh Morrissey shot.
He then skated off in a heap and was hunched over on the bench before being helped off the ice by the trainers as the period ended.
Bogosian, 33, has one goal and nine points in 44 games this year, 40 of which with the Wild after playing four games for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Wild acquired Bogosian back in November for a 2025 seventh-round pick.
The 6-foot-3 defenseman has played great for the Wild this year so a long-term injury could be tough for the Wild to handle. It looked like it could be a shoulder injury but Wild head coach John Hynes didn't have an update on his status after the game.
