Thomas Milic will spend time back with Manitoba.
The Manitoba Moose have recalled goaltender Thomas Milic from the ECHL.
The Winnipeg Jets have made the announcement that the youthful backstop has earned a promotion back to the American Hockey League.
Having started the season in Manitoba, Milic went on to post pedestrian numbers in his first year of AHL action. The 21-year-old went just 4-10-2 over 17 games for the bottom-feeding Moose.
He put up far better numbers in the ECHL to go alongside a .500 record (3-3-0). Milic had a 2.33 goals against average and a .923 save percentage with the Norfolk Admirals.
Last year with Norfolk, Milic had an impressive 11-3-2 record.
With Kaapo Kahkonen earning a call-up to Winnipeg in place of goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, the Moose are down a body in goal. Milic will fill that void as long as available.
Manitoba is on the road in Laval on Wednesday for the first test of a two-game, week-day set, to which the team will look to bounce back from a lopsided home loss to Milwaukee on Monday.
