The Winnipeg Jets have recalled forward Jarret Anderson-Dolan and goaltender Chris Driedger from the Manitoba Moose.
Anderson-Dolan will provide the Jets with insurance on their upcoming three-game road trip. Rasmus Kupari suffered a setback in his recovery from a concussion and without him and Gabriel Vilardi, the Jets only have 12 healthy forwards. If they suffer another injury on the road trip, Anderson-Dolan can step into the lineup.
In 51 AHL games, the 25-year-old has scored seven goals and 19 points. He was selected in the second round of the 2017 NHL draft by the Los Angeles Kings but has never been able to cement his place on an NHL roster.
Driedger was acquired by the Jets at the NHL trade deadline in a swap for Kaapo Kahkonen. Since joining the Moose, the 30-year-old has posted a 1-3-0 record in five games, including a .872SV% and a 3.30 GAA.
According to Mike McIntrye, Eric Comrie's wife went into labour over the weekend. If Comrie is forced to miss time, Driedger will serve as the backup goaltender to Connor Hellebuyck. Driedger has accumulated 67 games of NHL experience throughout his career.
