Rick Bowness, head coach of the team, wasn't too comforting in his press conference. He stated that the defenseman was still being evaluated:
Dillon's teammate, Josh Morrissey, seemed worried about him, calling the incident a "scary situation".
«We're all really concerned for him and hoping he's OK.»"
Dillon plays an important role in the Jets' defensive unit. Cuts can be long to recover from, and if the Jets don't make it past the first round, it would be surprising to see him back on the ice.
However, nothing was confirmed by the team, and once we know more, we'll keep you updated.
