Winnipeg Jets activate Mason Appleton off injured reserve; assign him to the Manitoba Moose

It has been a tough 2019-20 season for the third-year pro out of Michigan State University.  He began the season with the Jets playing in the team’s first nine games, was scratched from game 10 and 11 and was warming up ahead of the Heritage Classic in Regina back on October 26th when a pre-game injury would knock him from the next 19 games with a broken bone in his foot.

He has missed just over six weeks of the season but today the Jets announced he has been removed from injured reserve and the team has assigned him to the Manitoba Moose.

The Green Bay product split last season between the Jets and Moose.

Mason Appleton’s assignment is good news for the Moose who could use some scoring punch.  And while you never want to be assigned when you are in the NHL it will be a good chance for Appleton, after being out for 6.5 weeks, to play lots of minutes.

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.
