Dustin Byfuglien and the Winnipeg Jets have taken a big step towards mending his broken ankle — and possibly their fractured relationship.
Byfuglien has started a post-surgery rehabilitation program in consultation with the Jets that brings him closer to a potential on-ice return with the team later this season, the Free Press has learned.
Although he's working with medical staff at an independent clinic, there's been ongoing communication with the organization including recommendations for his treatment which are being pursued, two sources confirmed Tuesday.
It's also worth noting that what appeared to be a looming arbitration case between Byfuglien and the Jets still has no set date.
