Just as the Jets are welcoming captain Adam Lowry to the lineup, another centreman is taking an unscheduled break from competition.

Morgan Barron is out with an unspecified injury, the injury occurring during Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

“Morgan got banged up in the third period, so he’s week-to-week,” head coach Scott Arniel said. “We’ll get a little bit more of an evaluation when we get home from this road trip. He will be coming with us, but I don’t think he’ll be on the ice.”

Barron’s last action of the game was a 50-second shift, ending at 12:50.

The coach was asked if the injury was upper or lower body in nature.

“In between,” Arniel said. “It’s in between.”

The 26-year-old Halifax native has three goals and three assists in 12 games played this season.
