Bryan Little was alert and in good spirits Wednesday after the Winnipeg Jets center was struck near the ear by a shot in the third period of a 2-1 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils at Bell MTS Place on Tuesday.
Little was taken to St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, where he received 25-30 stitches to close a laceration, and transferred to the Health Sciences Centre's neurological unit for further observation, according to the Jets. He was bleeding and helped off the ice at 7:27 of the third after he was hit by a slap shot from the point by Winnipeg forward Nikolaj Ehlers. The Jets said further updates will be provided when available.
It was Little's seventh game back after he missed the first nine of the season following a concussion sustained against the Minnesota Wild in the preseason finale.
Winnipeg (8-7-1) is home against the Vancouver Canucks on Friday (8 p.m. ET; ESPN+, TSN3, SNP, NHL.TV).
