Jets leave vets at home for pre-season game

WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Jets are resting a lot of veterans as they head to Edmonton for a pre-season game tonight.

Minor injuries have taken their toll.

The most serious is an eye injury suffered by off-season acquisition TJ Galiardi that required surgery.

He says he was worried initially he might lose the sight in his left eye, which was cut by a stick that slipped under his visor during practice.

He says the eye is healing and he hopes to be cleared to at least start working out soon
