US EditionWinnipeg Jets’ Hellebuyck Misses Practice, Samberg Out 6-8 Weeks
Dylan Samberg will miss 6-8 weeks after a broken wrist from a clean hit, leaving the Jets’ top shutdown defenseman sidelined for up to 20 games, coach Scott Arniel said.
- Dylan Samberg, a 26-year-old defenseman for the Winnipeg Jets, suffered a broken wrist during a Saturday preseason game against the Calgary Flames.
- The injury occurred after Flames forward Ryan Lomberg hit Samberg, pushing his left arm into a stanchion, which Jets coach Scott Arniel called a freak accident.
- Samberg, who recently signed a three-year contract extension averaging $5.75 million per season, is expected to miss six to eight weeks, potentially 14 to 20 games.
- Coach Arniel acknowledged the loss creates a big hole for the Jets, noting the team will rely on players like Haydn Fleury to fill the gap as the season starts October 9.
- Samberg's absence, combined with captain Adam Lowry's ongoing hip recovery, means the Jets will test their roster depth early in the 82-game season.
