Breaking: The worst is confirmed for the Jets

The Winnipeg Jets confirmed that defenseman Tobias Enstrom will miss at least eight weeks with a lower-body injury, as reported on Twitter by hockey insider Jamie Thomas. The injured likely happened during Saturday's game against the New Jersey Devils.

Look for #NHLJets to recall Tucker Poolman today as it appears Toby Enstrom will be out 8 weeks with a lower body injury (which is unrelated to previous knee issues) #NHL
