Dmitry Kulikov will not play on Tuesday as he’s gone home to deal with a personal matter. It’s is said to be positive in nature. #NHLJets

As a result the Jets bench boss had indicated on Monday that they would recall Sami Niku and today they announced that move as well as the recall of Nelson Nogier. Veteran centre Bryan Little was placed on IR to maintain roster compliance.
