Jets center Gabriel Vilardi out 4-6 weeks with sprained MCL

Winnipeg Jets center Gabriel Vilardi will miss four to six weeks with a sprained MCL, the team announced Wednesday.

Vilardi left Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings midway through the first period after being hit against the boards by Blake Lizotte. Vilardi was ruled out with a lower-body injury and did not return.
A first-round selection by Los Angeles in 2017, Vilardi played his first four seasons with the Kings before being traded to Winnipeg in June. He has 41 goals and 38 assists through 155 career games.
The Jets are 1-2 through three games this season.
