The Winnipeg Jets have called up four players from the Manitoba Moose in advance of their final regular-season game tonight against Vancouver.
Moose forwards Brad Lambert and Nikita Chibrikov will make their NHL debuts tonight, while forward Parker Ford isn’t expected to suit up. Veteran goaltender Collin Delia is expected to serve as the backup to Laurent Brossoit, giving Connor Hellebuyck (in addition to several regular skaters) the night off.
The Jets are locked in to second place in the Central Division and will have home-ice advantage against the Colorado Avalanche in their playoff series regardless of what happens tonight.
