With the status of Adam Lowry still uncertain the team has recalled Brendan Lemieux as insurance for the three-game road trip. With Tobias Enstrom now healthy the Jets had two healthy defenceman in the pressbox in Tucker Poolman and Ben Chiarot. As a consequence they have assigned Tucker Poolman back to the Moose which is good for the young defenceman, as he will get a chance to get back into game action.
