Jets Recall Domenic DiVincentiis, Reassign Thomas Milic as Hellebuyck Skates for First Time

Winnipeg seeks steadier goaltending during a rough stretch without its MVP as it opens a four-game homestand.

Overview

  • The Jets promoted 21-year-old Domenic DiVincentiis from the AHL and returned Thomas Milic to the Manitoba Moose, the team announced Monday.
  • DiVincentiis received his first NHL practice reps and could make his debut after posting a .915 save percentage in 13 AHL games this season.
  • Milic appeared in three NHL games after his Nov. 28 debut and recorded a .871 save percentage and 3.46 goals-against average before being sent down.
  • Head coach Scott Arniel said Connor Hellebuyck skated for the first time since his Nov. 22 arthroscopic knee procedure, with no timeline for full practices.
  • Practice included forward line changes that split the top unit and moved Gabriel Vilardi to the third line, as Winnipeg enters a homestand following a 3-6-1 stretch with an .882 team save percentage.
