Winnipeg Jets prospect Dylan Samberg on the ice as he recovers from high ankle sprain

Prospect skating with the team as he recovers from injury.

Had some folks asking me about Dylan Samberg‘s status recently. The Jets prospect defenceman suffered a high ankle sprain on day 1 of training camp and general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff indicated on Sept 24th that the Minnesota product could potentially miss 6-8 weeks.

Once he is healthy expect Samberg (2017 2nd) to be assigned to the Manitoba Moose where the second year pro will continue his development with a glut of other Jets drafted prospects on the backend including Ville Heinola (2019 1st), Johnny Kovacevic (2017 3rd), Simon Lundmark (2019 2nd), Declan Chisholm (2018 5th) and Leon Gawanke (2017 5th).
