Winnipeg Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury, head coach Scott Arniel announced on Monday.

Arniel told reporters the injury is not related to Vilardi getting struck in the ear with the puck in the first period of Sunday’s 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

Vilardi, 25, ranks third on the Jets with 61 points (27 goals, 34 assists) and has played in all 71 games this season for the Central Division leaders. He plays on the top line with Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele.

Vilardi has 175 points (90 goals, 85 assists) in 270 career games with the Los Angeles Kings (2020-23) and Jets. Los Angeles drafted him with the 11th overall pick in 2017.
