Jets expected to be without Enstrom for 8 weeks due to injury

Dustin Byfuglien might have to go a couple of months with a new defense partner.

Toby Enstrom was placed on injured reserve Sunday with what the Winnipeg Jets would only classify as a "lower-body" injury.

Jamie Thomas, who works for the club as a reporter, tweeted that it appears Enstrom will be out for eight weeks with the ailment, which the defenseman suffered in Saturday's win over the New Jersey Devils.

Enstrom ranked fifth among Jets blue-liners and 10th on the team in ice time, averaging 16:37, but he collected only two points in 19 games.
