Appleton suffered the injury Sunday against the Seattle Kraken when he fell awkwardly into the boards.

Appleton has one goal and five assists in 14 games with the Jets this season.

Bowness also said there is no timetable for the return of forward Nikolaj Ehlers (undisclosed injury), who has played just two games this season.
