Overview
- Winnipeg placed defenseman Haydn Fleury on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 6 after he was stretchered off against the Golden Knights.
- Fleury was diagnosed with a broken nose and a bruised back, was discharged from the hospital Tuesday night, and will be managed cautiously after a recent concussion.
- The Jets recalled forward Danny Zhilkin from the AHL’s Manitoba Moose in the corresponding transaction.
- Zhilkin, a 2022 third-round pick, has a career-high 14 points in 30 AHL games this season and could debut as soon as Thursday versus Edmonton or Friday against Los Angeles.
- Fleury has no points and a minus-7 in 17 games this season, and Winnipeg enters the upcoming games on a 10-game losing streak.
