Winnipeg Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien was not on the ice for Sunday's morning skate and the veteran will not be in the lineup for their game against the Carolina Hurricanes with an upper-body injury, head coach Paul Maurice confirmed. 

Byfuglien suffered the injury during practice on Saturday and is listed as day-to-day. 

The 33-year-old has one assist over four games this season, his ninth with the Winnipeg franchise. 

Dmitri Kulikov, 27, will replace Byfuglien on the blueline for his first appearance of the season. Laurent Brossoit will get the start between the pipes for Winnipeg. 

In other roster moves, forward Marko Dano was placed on waivers, according to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun. 

The 23-year-old scored two goals and one assist over 23 games last season, but hasn't played in any games this season.
