WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have placed forwards Patrik Laine and Nate Thompson on injured reserve.

Thompson suffered a lower-body injury on Thursday in a win over the Ottawa Senators. He has been held pointless through four games.

Winnipeg has added defenceman Dylan DeMelo to the active roster.

The Jets complete a three-game series against Ottawa on Saturday night in Winnipeg.
