Winnipeg Jets forward Joel Armia left Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild on Friday with an upper-body injury, the team announced.
The 24-year-old played 5:24 in the first period, but did not return for the second.
Despite his early withdrawal, Armia had time to score the Jets' fourth goal of the first period when a Dustin Byfuglien slap shot from the point redirected off his midsection and in. The goal was his first of the series, and first in 17 games overall.
