TRANSACTIONS: The #NHLJets have recalled F – Danny Zhilkin from the Manitoba Moose (AHL). The Jets also placed D-Haydn Fleury on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 6.
The 22-year-old Zhilkin was selected 77th overall in the third round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and has taken noticeable steps forward in his development this season with the Jets’ AHL affiliate. In 30 games, he has already surpassed his previous career high in points, with a score of 14 (7G, 7A), after recording 10 points in 53 games last year. Zhilkin, a speedy winger, was a key part of the Moose’s improved performance compared to last season’s worst campaign.
Fleury, 29, has yet to record a point in 17 games with Winnipeg this season. In 324 career NHL games, he scored 10 goals and 34 assists for 44 points.
The Jets will try to break their 10-game losing streak against the Oilers on Thursday. Puck drop is at 7:00 PM CST on TSN3.
