Winnipeg Jets recall John Albert

Jets Release:

The Winnipeg Jets today announced they have recalled forward John Albert from the St. John’s IceCaps of the American Hockey League.

Albert, 25, has played in 51 games with the IceCaps so far this season. In that time, the left-handed centre has recorded 33 points (17G, 16A) and 14 penalty minutes. He made his NHL debut with the Jets on Dec. 2/13 against the Rangers where he earned his first NHL goal. The Cleveland, OH native has played in eight career NHL games, all with Winnipeg.

He was originally drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in the sixth round, 175^th overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

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.
