Winnipeg Jets defensemen Toby Enstrom will be out indefinitely with a concussion, head coach Paul Maurice announced Friday.
Enstrom was the victim of a hit from behind by Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tom Sestitio in the first period Wednesday that landed Sestitio a four-game suspension.
Following the game, Enstrom was taken to hospital where he was examined for possible facial fractures.
The injury is a blow to the Jets blue line as Enstrom had averaged 21:54 of ice-time while ranking fourth on the club with 94 blocked shots.
