It didn’t look good for veteran defenceman Dylan DeMelo, who was forced to leave last night’s game in Dallas during the first period after Stars forward Mikko Rantanen fell on him in the Jets crease.
While Winnipeg would go on to hand Dallas an 8-3 drubbing, the news wasn’t nearly as positive for DeMelo, with head coach Scott Arniel confirming after the game that the veteran defenceman would be out week-to-week.
We speculated that the likely recall would be Henry Thrun, who was just up with the Jets last week on an emergency basis.

Sure enough, when checking the NHL media site this morning, Thrun was listed on the Jets roster, with the team confirming the recall a few minutes later.
The left-shot defenceman has played 14 games for the Manitoba Moose this season, recording one goal and six assists for seven points. In eight of those 14 games he started the game on the right side.
