Winnipeg Jets captain Blake Wheeler suffered an undisclosed injury Wednesday versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team announced.
Wheeler finished his last shift with 2:25 remaining in the first period and didn't come out for the second frame.
Jets head coach Paul Maurice said Wheeler's injury will be examined Thursday, according to team reporter Mitchell Clinton.
"We'll have something for you in a couple days," he told reporters after his team's 3-1 loss.
Wheeler, 34, hasn't missed a game this season. He entered Wednesday's action fourth in team scoring with 31 points.
Winnipeg's next contest comes Friday against Toronto.
