Winnipeg Jets reassign Sami Niku to the Manitoba Moose

The Moose had assigned two players to Jacksonville this morning and were down to eight defenceman on the roster ahead of their home opener tonight against the Marlies but that number is now nine as the Jets announced they have reassigned Sami Niku to the AHL squad.

I guess if the alternative is sitting in the press box rather than playing big minutes with Manitoba it is a vastly preferable option.

It could also mean that Bryan Little is ready to come off IR which would have required the Jets to make a roster move.

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.
