Moose Joining Jets and Taxi Squad

The Manitoba Moose return to the practice ice this week following the holiday break. They'll do so without a number of players on the roster as four skaters were recalled to the Jets or reassigned to the Taxi Squad.

Forwards Kristian Reichel and C.J. Suess were recalled by the Jets on Dec. 26. Both appeared in Winnipeg's final game before the break on Dec. 19, marking Reichel's first NHL game and Suess' second. Both players have 12 points on the season with the Moose.

With the temporary reintroduction of the Taxi Squad, the Jets reassigned defenceman Ville Heinola to the squad on Dec. 27 and back to the Moose on Dec. 28. Forward Mikey Eyssimont was reassigned from the Moose to the Taxi Squad on Dec. 28. Heinola ranks second among Moose defenders with 14 points (2G, 12A) in 20 games this season while Eyssimont has 12 points (6G, 6A) in 18 games and is tied for second on the team in goals.
