The Jets had recalled forward Jeffrey Viel yesterday morning on an emergency basis ahead of their afternoon game against the Wild. Some folks went apoplectic (on twitter) thinking the tough winger would be playing in order to cause havoc with Minnesota after what happened in Winnipeg on Saturday.

But in the end he was simply insurance for the team who didn’t have an extra forward available with David Gustafsson unavailable.

He returns to the Moose where they are off today but will be back on the ice on Tuesday to prepare for a weekend series with the Belleville Senators.

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.
