Manitoba Moose defenseman and Winnipeg Jets prospect Ville Heinola has been ruled out indefinitely. Heionla, who previously suffered a fractured ankle last summer, will miss the Jets' preseason due to infection showing up in his blood work.

The infection’s origins can be traced back to last season’s training camp, when Heinola broke his ankle in the final pre-season game. That injury, which cost him more than half the season, required surgery, and a screw, to repair. Arniel revealed Friday the infection stems from the screw.
