Florida Panthers defenseman Seth Jones will miss the last four games of the season with a broken foot.
Jones sustained the injury during the second period of Tuesday’s 4-3 shootout loss at Montreal, coach Paul Maurice confirmed Thursday.
“He gutted it out (to finish the game),” Maurice said. “We’ll get it looked at when we get back.”
Jones played 31 shifts and logged a team-high 29:27 of ice time against the Canadiens.
The two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers (37-37-4, 78 points) have been eliminated from the playoff picture.
Jones, 31, missed 26 games earlier this season after sustaining an upper-body injury on Jan. 2. He finishes the season with 32 points (seven goals, 25 assists) in 52 games.
A four-time All-Star and 2025 Stanley Cup winner, Jones has 473 points (106 goals, 367 assists) in 912 games with four teams since being drafted fourth overall by the Nashville Predators in 2013.
