Winnipeg Jets reassign Axel Jonsson-Fjällby to the Moose

After joining the Jets for the game on Sunday the winger heads back to the AHL.

Lots of ‘what goes up must come down’ posts as Axel Jonsson-Fjällby is becoming a bit of a yo-yo since he cleared waivers a few weeks back. He played his second game with the Jets on Sunday since his original reassignment but with Nino Niederreiter arrival in Winnipeg last night it means the 23-man roster needed to be adjusted. Of course the Jets didn’t announce Niederreiter’s removal from the non-roster player list so it also could mean David Gustafsson, who has been on IR since last month but shed his non-contact uniform, is ready to return.

With that in mind the team reassigned Jonsson-Fjällby back down to the Moose where he played four games for Manitoba during this time adding three goals and one assist to a team that is currently rolling on a nine-game points streak.

The Jets are set to practice at 11 AM with Niederreiter expected to join the team for a skate in Winnipeg.
