After Michael Eyssimont played his first NHL game last season he came back to Winnipeg for the 2022-23 season hungry for more opportunity. He got that in the form of playing 19 games with the Jets this season which included picking up his first NHL goal as well as adding three assists.

However the Jets are getting healthy and with a glut of players set to return it means they’ve got to get some guys back down to the AHL. As per Chris Johnston of TSN he has been placed on waivers by Winnipeg.

The Moose are out east on a six-game road trip and are currently mired in a three-game losing streak after dropping last night’s game in Laval by a final score of 6-3. If Eyssimont clears it will be a huge boost (along with Kristian Reichel who was reassigned today and Jansen Harkins who was placed on waivers, cleared and was reassigned on Wednesday) for Manitoba (if he makes it to them).

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.
