The Winnipeg Jets have responded quickly to a lower-body injury for defenseman Dylan DeMelo. The injury was sustained in the first period of Thursday night’s game against the Dallas Stars, after Stars forward Mikko Rantanen fell on DeMelo’s right leg during a tie-up in front of the net.
The Winnipeg Jets will be without one of their best and most reliable defenseman for the time being, as the team announced on Friday morning that it has placed Dylan DeMelo on injured reserve.
Every hockey season hits that point where things start to feel heavy. The games pile up. The travel piles up. Even good teams can start looking a little flat.
Winnipeg Jets' Dylan DeMelo was scratched right before last night's Jets-Blues game, and Elliotte Friedman has revealed he is now dealing with an illness.
People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.
Dylan DeMelo will not play tonight for the Winnipeg Jets. Speculation came about DeMelo’s status when he was not practicing with the team on Wednesday, and Scott Arniel told the media that DeMelo simply took a maintenance day.
The Jets, facing a seemingly insurmountable deficit with time dwindling down, ignited their comeback engine, scoring with a dramatic late surge in the third period to steal a 2-1 victory from the Kraken in a thrilling finish on Thursday, January 16th at Canada Life Centre.
Dylan DeMelo scored with 27 seconds remaining in the third period as the Winnipeg Jets defeated the visiting Seattle Kraken 2-1 Thursday night to remain tied with Washington for first place in the NHL's overall standings.
