It was an informative day in Mooseland on Tuesday as we learned that Jets prospect Elias Salomonsson (2022 2nd) is getting closer to a return to the lineup although he isn’t expected to play in either of their next two games as he recovers from an upper-body injury suffered back on December 6th. The bad news for the club is leading scorer and another Jets prospect in Nikita Chibrikov (2021 2nd) will be out long-term after suffering a lower-body injury on Sunday.

Skate news:

Everyone is present and accounted for today which means the Jets didn’t need to make a recall. Only change today is a swapping of D pairs with Bauer & Coghlan changing partners.

Lines and D pairs:

AJF – King – JAD
Shaw – Lambert – Ford
Suess – Lucius – Zhilkin
Liwiski – Wagner -Empey
Chyzowski

Sautner – Lundmark
Barteaux – Coghlan
Phillips – Bauer
Anhorn – Barteaux

Player media:

Up next:

Tomorrow the Moose will shift into game mode as they welcome the division-leading Griffins to town for a pair of games. Puck drop is at 7 PM CST.

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.
