Dylan Samberg wearing a regular jersey at Winnipeg Jets morning skate in Vancouver

And there was much rejoicing in Jetsland with the news, via radio analyst Mitchell Clinton, that injured defenceman Dylan Samberg has traded in his yellow non-contact jersey for a regular uniform.

The Jets have been without Samberg’s services since late September, after he broke his wrist in an exhibition game which his head coach labelled a “freak accident.” He was expected to miss 6–8 weeks. This is the start of his sixth week.

This past weekend wee saw Cole Perfetti ditch the non-contact jersey, and then two days later he was in the lineup.

Samberg was not on with a D pair expected to play tonight. We shall have to wait and see if he’s on a similar trajectory as Perfetti which would mean he could be making his regular season debut on Tuesday in Seattle, provided he feels good after today’s skate.
