The Winnipeg Jets will be without defenceman Jacob Trouba until at least February.

Jets head coach Paul Maurice announced on Tuesday that Trouba, who scored a goal and an assist against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday, had suffered an upper-body injury that will sideline him until the new year.

On Wednesday, it was learned that he suffered a left wrist injury and was seen wearing a hard brace.

The 20-year-old has averaged 23:33 minutes of ice time per game this season. He has scored four goals and eight assists in 31 games with the Jets this season.

Trouba was drafted in the first round – ninth overall – of the 2012 NHL Draft.
