Winnipeg Jets recall Jeffrey Viel under emergency conditions; place David Gustafsson on IR

The Jets announced this morning that they have recalled Jeffrey Viel from the Manitoba Moose on emergency conditions and placed forward David Gustafsson on IR. In 24 games with the Moose this season Viel has four goals and five assists.

He can also do this if necessary:

He is more than just a face puncher and has played 49 NHL games with the Sharks previously with three goals and two assists.

It will be interesting to see if he gets into the lineup in a game that is expected to be a wee bit physical.

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.
