Winnipeg Jets recall Kristian Vesalainen from the taxi squad ahead of game vs Oilers

Kristian Vesalainen played his first regular season game of the 2020-2021 season last Saturday, a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.  It was his first regular season game with the Jets since October 14th, 2018.

Today ahead of their game against the Edmonton Oilers the Jets announced that Vesalainen has been recalled from the taxi squad.

That leaves Ville Heinola, Dylan Samberg, CJ Suess and Nelson Nogier on the taxi squad of Winnipeg.

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.
