Winnipeg Jets forward Morgan Barron suffered a lower-body injury in an awkward fall in the first period against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday and did not return to the game.

After the game, head coach Rick Bowness said Wednesday they will learn more about the injury.

The 25-year-old center had 11 goals and 7 assists in 79 games with the Jets in 2023-24, his second full season with the club.

The Jets, who qualified for the playoffs after a 4-3 win over the Kraken on Tuesday, will take on the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday to close out the regular season. They will face the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the playoffs.
