Winnipeg Jets recall Brayden Yager and Nikita Chibrikov

With the Jets set to head out on the road for a pair of back-to-back games the team announced the recall (on emergency conditions) of prospects Brayden Yager and Nikitia Chibrikov.

For Yager it’s his first ever NHL recall and he will likely get a chance to make his NHL debut. The Saskatchewan product has 10 goals and 20 assists for 30 points in 68 games including a nice rip in their last game.

Chibrikov obviously played some games this season for Winnipeg but has been down with the Moose for some time. He’s been much better of late and appears fully healthy. He had a nice shootout goal in the last game for Manitoba

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.
