Winnipeg Jets activate Matt Hendricks; assign Nic Petan to Moose

As Matt Hendricks got closer and closer to full health the Jets were expected to make a move.  Somewhat unexpectedly that move was sending Nic Petan to the Manitoba Moose.  Petan doesn’t have to clear waivers as he remains on his entry level contract.  In six games with the Jets this season he has no points.  I say somewhat unexpectedly as both Marko Dano and Joel Armia were the extras at skate yesterday and with potentially eight healthy D, there was some thought that the team could send Tucker Poolman down to get some playing time on the AHL club.

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.
