Hey there, time traveller!

It was a disconcerting sight for the Winnipeg Jets and their faithful watching Dustin Byfuglien leave the ice Wednesday night and not return.
Byfuglien, the Jets’ powerful hybrid defenceman/forward, exited Wednesday’s 3-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators in the second period with an upper-body injury and finished with just 13 minutes and 18 seconds of ice time.
The Jets are not on the ice today and a team spokesman said an update on his status will not be made available until Friday when the team is scheduled to practice at MTS Centre before embarking on a four-game road trip that begins in Nashville Saturday night and includes stops in St. Louis, Florida and Tampa Bay.
Byfulgien is fourth on the Jets in scoring with 15 goals and 27 assists while averaging 22:45 in ice time. Three of his goals have been game-winners.
The Jets injured list is already over-flowing and features Mathieu Perreault, Matt Halischuk, Ben Chiarot and Grant Clitsome. Halischuk is skating and may soon return while both Perreault and Chiarot could be available in April if the Jets make a run for the playoffs. Clitsome is done for the season with a back injury.
