Winnipeg Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi, 25, who has 27 goals, is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury, coach Scott Arniel said Monday, adding that "what happened, it really was kind of a freak situation" in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

Jets center Gabriel Vilardi is expected to miss over a week of action thanks to an upper-body injury he recently suffered.

Regardless of how long he ends up being out, Gabriel Vilardi's injury is a crushing blow for the Jets heading into the playoffs.
