Winnipeg Jets claim Nick Shore off waivers from the Leafs

Centre Nick Shore has played 21 games for the Leafs this season but found himself on waivers. In those 21 games he has two goals and one assist. The 3rd round pick of the Kings in 2011 played last season in the KHL.

According to Chris Johnston of Sportsnet one other team aside from the Jets also put in a claim for the Denver, Colorado product.

Looks like the Jets will try to bolster the 4th line. It could also mean that Jets 2018 2nd rounder David Gustafsson will be made available to play for Sweden for the World Juniors. We shall have to wait and see.

Jets PR announced Shore will wear number 21.

The Jets also announced that they have placed Dmitry Kulikov on IR.

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.
