Winnipeg Jets return four players back to the Manitoba Moose

The Jets called up four Moose players (Brad Lambert, Parker FordNikita Chibrikov and goalie Collin Delia) on Thursday ahead of their game against the Canucks.

Both Lambert and Chibrikov played while Ford dressed for warm-up while Collin Delia backed up Laurent Brossoit.

It was impactful NHL debuts for Lambert and Chibrikov as the Finnish centre picked up an assist on the opening goal of the game while the Russian winger scored his first NHL goal which turned out to be the game-winning goal.

Now they return to the Moose where they will conclude the regular season against the Stars and then they’ll stay in Texas as these two clubs will face each other in the play-in series which is a best of three which gets started on Tuesday.

Update:

They only ended up returning three as Collin Delia was recalled. He will be the third goalie up with the Jets for playoffs.
