Winnipeg Jets recall Sami Niku from the Manitoba Moose

He has hands down been the Moose best defenceman this season and has set rookie records on the team for scoring. He is tied for the lead among all AHL defencemen in scoring. And now he is getting the call up to the big club as the Jets have announced they have recalled him from the Moose. In 71 games with the Moose he has 15 goals and 37 assists.

Suspect this is similar to when the team recalled Jack Roslovic and Eric Comrie last season to give them their first taste of NHL action.

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.
