The Jets said Wednesday that Little was taken to a local Winnipeg hospital before being taken to the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg for further observation in the neurological unit. The team said he was alert and in “good spirits” as he was being checked out.
Little needed 25-30 stitches to close up the cut, according to USA Today.
Little missed the first nine games of the season with a concussion.
The 31-year-old Canadian has been with the Jets since the team was still the Atlanta Thrashers in 2007. He played all 82 games last year, scoring 15 goals and recording 26 assists.
