Winnipeg Jets recall Kristian Vesalainen and Ville Heinola from taxi squad; Tucker Poolman moved to non-roster status

Be prepared for a lot of transactions this season.

Ahead of tonight’s game against the Leafs the Jets announced they have recalled winger Kristian Vesalainen and defenceman Ville Heinola from their taxi squad.

With six games in the next nine nights there could be lots of new faces in the roster.

They also indicated that defenceman Tucker Poolman, who is on the NHL’s CPRA list, has been moved to non-roster status.

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.
