The Jets today made official what coach Maurice indicated to media on Monday, that veteran defenceman Dmitry Kulikov was given a personal leave from the team. According to Ted Wyman of the Sun:

As a result the Jets bench boss had indicated on Monday that they would recall Sami Niku and today they announced that move as well as the recall of Nelson Nogier. Veteran centre Bryan Little was placed on IR to maintain roster compliance.

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.
