Jets’ Little returning after season-opening injury

Bryan Little will play Tuesday for the Winnipeg Jets after suffering an injury in the first game of the season, head coach Paul Maurice has confirmed.

The center will skate on a line with Drew Stafford and Blake Wheeler against the New Jersey Devils.

Little left the season opener against the Carolina Hurricanes following a collision with Bryan Bickell midway through the first period, but not before recording an assist.

In 57 games last season, Little scored 17 goals and added 25 assists.
