Jets recall Yager from Moose

Brayden Yager understood the assignment and is about to reap the rewards.

After being the Winnipeg Jets’ last cut at the end of training camp, Yager racked up five goals and nine points in six games with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League.

Yager will accompany the Jets to St. Louis and could make his season debut on Tuesday against the Blues.

To make room on the roster for Yager, the Jets placed defenceman Josh Morrissey on injured reserve, retroactive to Oct. 7.
