Winnipeg Jets Transaction Report: Nate Thompson activated from injured reserve.

Veteran centre Nate Thompson has been out of the lineup with a lower-body injury since his last game on January 21st.   The Jets announced he has been activated from IR.

We learned today that he was taking rushes and looked like he would be returning to the lineup to centre the 4th line with Harkins and Lewis.

Update: He confirmed during his media availability that he will be back in the lineup.

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.
