REPORT: Jets Blake Wheeler's DISTURBING injury has been revealed - OUCH!
The Winnipeg Jets are having a very good bounce back season this year after missing the playoffs last season. They are currently second in the Central division with a 24-13-1 record.
They've been dealing with quite a few injuries this season, and one of the most recent came on December 15th when he blocked a shot from a teammate. It was announced 2 days later that he would miss atleast 8 weeks after having a groin surgery.
We just learned what the actual injury was, and yikes, it's enough to make everyone cross their legs in pain right now.
Jesus « Blake Wheeler ruptured a testicle after being struck by a Josh Morrissey shot against Nashville on Dec. 15 and finished the game.» I don't even have testicles and I felt pain reading that.

His recovery came quicker than the 8 weeks though and he is expected to make his return to the lineup tonight.
