Winnipeg Jets Transaction Report: Pair of moves made (on emergency basis) ahead of game against Canucks

The Jets are set to resume their four-game home stand tonight against the Vancouver Canucks (Puck drop is 7:00 p.m. CT).  After today’s optional team skate, we learned during Paul Maurice’s media availability that three players are being held out of tonight’s game; Connor Hellebuyck, Tucker Poolman and Neil Pionk.

As a result, the Jets recalled goalie Eric Comrie on an emergency basis to backup Laurent Brossoit for tonight’s game.  The Jets also announced that forward Dominic Toninato was recalled on an emergency basis to the roster.

It was a big day for Comrie who was voted by the local chapter of PHWA as the Winnipeg Jets nominee for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.

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.
