The Jets are almost 100% healthy (as much as they can be at this time of the year) as they saw the return of Mark Scheifele last night in Pittsburgh which leaves just David Gustafsson on IR (and even he is healthy enough to be practicing in a regular uniform). However with the acquisition of Sean Monahan on Friday from the Habs and removing 55 from IR the team needed to make a move to be roster compliant so they placed Axel Jonsson-Fjallby on waivers yesterday afternoon.

Jonsson-Fjallby has five points (2G 3A) in 26 games this season for Winnipeg.

It has been confirmed by Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet that he has cleared waivers which means the team is free to assign him to the Moose.

Manitoba seems to have turned things around winning four of their last five games. They are back in action on Friday in Grand Rapids as they make a push for the playoffs and this addition should give them a boost.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
