BREAKING: Winnipeg Jets Suffers career ending injury.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon has been ruled out for Sunday’s Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series versus the Colorado Avalanche in Denver due to a hand injury.

Dillon sustained a laceration on his left hand in a fracas after time expired in Winnipeg’s 6-2 loss in Game 3 Friday. He was tangled up with Avalanche forward Brandon Duhaime at the bottom of a scrum, got up and skated to the locker room with blood dripping from the back of his hand.

The Jets trail 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

Logan Stanley will draw into the lineup in place of Dillon, who recorded 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) and a plus-20 rating in 77 games this season.

Dillon, 33, has 196 points (37 goals, 159 assists) and a plus-66 rating in 892 career games with the Dallas Stars, San Jose Sharks, Washington Capitals and Jets.
