Canada left-back Alphonso Davies is set for another spell on the sidelines as a frustrating season continues.

Bayern Munich announced on Wednesday that the 25-year-old Edmonton product tore a muscle in his thigh in the team's 6-1 over Atalanta on Tuesday in the first leg of their Round of 16 Champions League tie.

No recovery timeline was offered by the club, but the injury is another tear similar to the hamstring ailment kept him out of action for the past two weeks after incurring an issue during a 3-2 win over Eintracht on Feb. 21.

Davies, who came on to start the second half for Konrad Laimer, assisted on France winger Michael Olise's goal in the 64th minute. Only minutes later, Davies doubled over in pain near midfield and needed to come off himself. Davies made his way to the sideline under his own power, but clearly in visible discomfort.

Tuesday's match was Davies' first appearance since the Eintracht match and was his 13th across all competitions this season. He made his season debut in December after recovering from an ACL injury incurred last spring on international duty.

Davies is in his eighth season with the Bundesliga giants since a transfer from Vancouver Whitecaps.

The injury casts doubt on the Canada captain's participation in the next international window set for the end of the month. Jesse Marsch's side is set for friendlies against Iceland and Tunisia at Toronto's BMO Field on Mar. 28 and Mar. 31 respectively.

Davies wasn't the only injury Bayern was forced to contend with on Tuesday. Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig is sidelined with a concussion, while Germany forward Jamal Musiala aggravated an ankle injury he initially incurred last summer.

Bayern sits atop the Bundesliga table on 66 points, 11 clear of second-place Borussia Dortmund. Vincent Kompany's squad returns to action on Saturday with a visit to Bayer Leverkusen.

Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel didn't mince words after his team's ugly 4-1 loss to the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.

"We laid a big fat egg," he told reporters. "We didn't execute, we didn't compete on pucks ... Chased the whole game. They had the puck most of the night. When we did have it, we turned it over."

Ryan Poehling had a goal and an assist to lead the visitors to victory.

Alex Killorn also registered a goal and an assist, with Tim Washe and Jackson LaCombe, into an empty net, rounding out the scoring for Anaheim. Lukas Dostal made 12 saves for the Ducks (36-25-3), who rebounded from a 4-0 loss to St. Louis on Sunday.

Morgan Barron scored the lone goal for Winnipeg, which entered the night five points out of a playoff spot. Connor Hellebuyck had 30 saves for the Jets (26-27-10), who saw their three-game win streak and six-game point streak (4-0-2) halted.

Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel sounds off on his team's performance in a loss to the Anaheim Ducks, expressing his disappointment as Winnipeg tries to battle for a playoff spot.

After a scoreless first period in which Anaheim outshot Winnipeg 8-2, the Jets opened the scoring at 5:04 of the second when Barron notched his eighth of the season, assisted by Elias Salomonsson and Cole Perfetti. The Ducks quickly flipped the script, scoring three times over a span of 104 seconds.

"Everybody was off," Arniel said. "That was one of those nights where we couldn't make tape-to-tape passes, or make two or three in a row. We didn't get over top of pucks or battle for them. Everybody was missing."

Washe tied the game at 6:24 and Poehling gave Anaheim the lead just 14 seconds later. Killorn added the insurance marker at 8:08 to give the visitors a two-goal lead.

TAKEAWAYS

Jets: Josh Morrissey appeared in his 720th career game, officially moving past Toby Enstrom for the most games played by a defenceman in Jets franchise history.

Ducks: The Ducks outscored the Jets 12-6 in three games this year. The win keeps the Ducks in first place in the Pacific Division, while continuing a hot run for goaltender Dostal, who has now won 13 of his last 15 games.

KEY MOMENT

Killorn scored at 8:08 of the second period, capping off a three-goal rally for the Ducks in just 104 seconds to take a healthy 3-1 lead that completely shifted the momentum of the game.

KEY STAT

With the victory, Anaheim completed a three-game series sweep of Winnipeg.

UP NEXT

Ducks: Visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Jets: Host the New York Rangers on Thursday.

The Montreal Canadiens could be without their leading goal-scorer against the Ottawa Senators.

Cole Caufield is a game-time decision due to illness on Wednesday (Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT), Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis told reporters.

The winger was limited in Tuesday's win over the Toronto Maple Leafs as he battled the sickness. He managed just 10:27 of playing time and sat for most of the third period.

St. Louis said following the game that, despite the illness, Caufield would still make the trip to Ottawa.

The Mosinee, Wisc., native paces the Canadiens with 37 goals in 63 games.

Montreal sits third in the Atlantic and holds the East's final wild-card spot with 80 points.
