Jets’ Maurice: Peluso out 3-4 weeks, Ehlers’ status unknown

Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice announced Friday forward Anthony Peluso would miss three-to-four weeks with an upper-body injury.

The 26-year-old left Thursday's loss to the Carolina Hurricanes after just 1:22 of ice time. He has a goal and four assists in 35 games this season.

Maurice also said he would have a better idea about the extent of Nikolaj Ehlers' apparent upper-body injury Saturday. The rookie forward took a puck off his visor, which broke on impact.

Ehlers sits sixth in team scoring with 31 points in 63 games.

The Jets also announced forward JC Lipon will be recalled from the AHL's Manitoba Moose.
