Winnipeg Jets activate Mason Appleton; place Dylan DeMelo on IR

After missing most of the season with a wrist injury the Jets have activated Mason Appleton who will play tonight against the Hawks in Winnipeg.

In order to activate him from IR and be roster compliant the Jets have placed Dylan DeMelo on injured reserve.

After morning skate Jets coach Rick Bowness said he expects DeMelo to be ready for a full practice on Monday. (He was in a non-contact uniform today).

He also said they hope David Gustafsson will skate on Monday.

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.
