Chibrikov was selected by Winnipeg in the second round (50th overall) of the 2021 NHL draft.

The Jets say Chibrikov will join the American Hockey League’s Manitoba Moose on a professional tryout contract.

The Moose are tied 1-1 with the Milwaukee Admirals in their best-of-five Central Division semifinal, with Game 3 set for Wednesday in Milwaukee.
