Nelson Nogier, one of the most promising defensive prospects in the Winnipeg Jets pipeline, could miss the entire season with a major injury.

Nogier, 21, was hurt on the first shift of his first exhibition game with the Manitoba Moose last weekend in Grand Forks, head coach Pascal Vincent revealed Wednesday.

It happened during a seemingly innocent-looking play where an Iowa skater rubbed him into the boards.

He requires surgery for an upper-body injury and will be out four to six months.

It’s a major blow for the organization and for Nogier, who was expected to be a key player with the Moose this season as well as providing some valuable defensive depth for the Jets.

Nogier enjoyed a fine rookie pro season last year, appearing in 60 games with the Moose. He put up two goals and 11 assists and was rewarded with a late-season call-up to the big club, playing 10 games with the Jets.
