Like Tanner Glass who suffered a broken foot suffered in the March 30 game against the Carolina Hurricanes, Kyle Wellwood has been sent back to Winnipeg from Sunrise, Florida with a broken ankle. He suffered the injury when he took a point shot off his foot from Grant Clisome in Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning that ended in a 3-2 overtime loss which resulted in ending the Jets playoff hopes for this season. The injury not only ends Wellwood's season, but any chance he had of procuring a career-high season in goals. He tied his own marker of 18 in the game against the Bolts.
The Jets have re-called Patrice Cormier from the St. John's Ice Caps to fill Wellwood's spot.
