In an unfortunate turn of events, the Winnipeg Jets organization is going to be without their top prospect for the long run as he has just suffered an injury. This will be important for the Winnipeg Jets and their fans to know moving forward: <a href='https://illegalcurve.com/winnipeg-jets-prospect-nikita-chibrikov-is-done-for-the-season/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>one of their top prospects will be out for a significant time</a> due to a lower-body injury suffered in a game with the Manitoba Moose on Sunday. <h3>Nikita Chibrikov is likely done for the rest of the season</h3> This news was given by Moose coach Mark Morrison, who confirmed Nikita Chibrikov's injury. He's long-term. I don't know what the doctors have said yet but he's not short-term, put it that way. He's going to be long term and it's a big loss for us. - Mark Morrison <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/ICdave/status/1881768641332678707'> </a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/player/nikita-chibrikov-8482787' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Chibrikov</a>, 21, recorded two goals and three points in four games in the NHL this season. He currently leads the AHL's Moose in points with 18 and his seven goals rank tied for second on the team. The injury happened as the Russian winger was trying to check the Toronto Marlies' Mikko Kokkonen. He fell awkwardly as his right leg buckled under him, and he could not put weight on it as he promptly left the game. Chibrikov has long been regarded as the Jets' most NHL-ready prospect, although opportunity at the top level has been scarce. According to <a href='https://x.com/ICdave' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>David Minuk</a> of illegalcurve.com, sources indicate Chibrikov's season is likely done. � If true, it's a tough blow to the young forward's career. That said, with his talent and work habits, Chibrikov should be in a position to bounce back and get back on track.
