Samberg suffered a broken foot Saturday versus the Predators and will return to Winnipeg for further evaluation, Jim Toth of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
A timeline for Samberg's recovery hasn't been established, but given the nature of the injury, he will likely be out multiple weeks. Ville Heinola (ankle) is expected to be back with the Jets for Monday's game versus the Wild after completing a conditioning stint, and he may draw right into the lineup to replace Samberg.

Rotowire

Jets' Dylan Samberg: Not sidelined with injury
Rotowire
Samberg was deemed a healthy scratch against Arizona on Tuesday by coach Rick Bowness and wasn't dealing with a leg injury, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Considering Samberg is pointless in 21 straight contests and has been frequently left out of the lineup, it certainly doesn't come as a surprise that he was once again a healthy scratch Tuesday. If the blueliner does break into the lineup, it almost certainly will come at the expense of Kyle Capobianco.

Samberg registered an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

Samberg, Kyle Capobianco and Ville Heinola (illness) will likely be contending for two spots in the lineup during Nate Schmidt's (upper body) absence, though Samberg should have the inside track for playing time.
