He just finished up the first year of his three year extension he signed with the Jets the season prior. He had a solid season in Winnipeg putting up 17 goals 20 assists for 37 points in 82 games which exceeded his totals from the year before by three points. He spent most of the season on a line with Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton.

The Swiss winger finished with four goals and two assists for six points which put him sixth on the Jets in playoff scoring.

The next game for Switzerland, which is the last game before playoffs, is tomorrow when they take on Kazakhstan in Denmark.

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.
