Winnipeg Jets recall CJ Suess and Kristian Reichel from the Moose; move Blake Wheeler to LTIR

The Jets finally made a move putting Blake Wheeler on LTIR and with that move they now have the cap space to recall two healthy forwards up to the big club. They recalled Kristian Reichel and CJ Suess.

Kristian Reichel has earned his first ever recall to the NHL as one of the hardest working players on Manitoba. CJ Suess is a defensively responsible forward who has played one game for the Jets back in 2019-20.

Suess had four goals and eight assists in 23 games while Reichel has five goals and seven assists also in 23 games.

And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
