Winnipeg Jets place Mason Appleton on injured reserve (retroactive to Oct 5th)

The Jets unveiled their 23-man roster today which is actually a 24-man because newly claimed winger Axel Jonsson-Fjallby is awaiting his work visa. This meant the team would be required to make one more move before the game on Friday.

Of course if Appleton is ready to play on opening night on Friday, and assuming Axel Jonsson-Fjallby has his work visa which Rick Bowness told media today in Banff that it should be resolved by Thursday, then team would be required to make an additional move to become roster compliant.

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.
