The Jets have recalled Nelson Nogier from Manitoba (AHL).

Winnipeg’s blueline remains in flux and Nogier could make his season debut on Tuesday. The 6-foot-3, 208 lbs. defenseman had just nine points (1G / 8A) in 74 AHL games last season. He has not recorded a point in 11 career NHL games.

The Jets have re-signed Nelson Nogier to a one-year contract.

Nogier had just nine points (1G / 8A) in 74 games with Manitoba (AHL) last year and has appeared 11 career NHL games since being drafted in the fourth-round in 2014. Nogier will open 2020 with the Moose but could be the first call-up for the Jets blueline.

The Jets have recalled Nelson Nogier from Manitoba (AHL).

Nogier, 20, has two goals and 11 assists (13 points) in 57 games with Manitoba this season and he could make his NHL debut this week. The Jets’ blueline is banged up, so the former fourth round pick could draw into the lineup.

That’s it for now. Only lineup decision we need to know is the D to be scratched. Wild’s on the ice now, but I’ll update it after the skate. Greg Zanon’s been the scratch the past two.

Expect Zanon to draw back into the lineup tonight. He has a goal and three points over 23 games.
