Winnipeg Jets activate Drew Stafford; re-assign Brandon Tanev to Moose

With the Jets activating Drew Stafford from the IR they needed to make a corresponding move to be within compliance of the 23 man roster limit and that saw Brandon Tanev who has been a healthy scratch the past few games.  Tanev, in 39 games with the Jets, has two goals and two assists.  He has played six games with the Moose this season scoring one goal and adding two assists.  The Moose left today for Michigan as they get set for a six game road trip.

Manitoba has also announced that they have released Kale Kessy from his professional tryout.

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.
