The red-hot Winnipeg Jets have recalled some forward insurance for their back-to-back road trip beginning tonight. The Jets announced they’ve recalled Jaret Anderson-Dolan from their AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose.
Morgan Barron’s stay on Winnipeg’s injured reserve negated the need for a corresponding roster move. Although Barron is expected to return soon from the upper-body injury that’s sidelined him for a month, the Jets have indirectly confirmed he won’t play during the road trip.
Anderson-Dolan isn’t expected to participate in either game over the next two days although it would mark his first time playing for Winnipeg. The six-year NHL veteran is in his first year with the Jets organization since signing a two-year, $1.55MM contract with the team last offseason.
It unfortunately took Anderson-Dolan over a month to play in his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. After breaking his foot in one of the last few preseason games in September, Winnipeg wouldn’t activate and reassign Anderson-Dolan to the AHL until November 8th.
Since then, he’s posted poor results with AHL Manitoba. The Calgary, Alberta native has scored five goals and 13 points in 38 games for the Moose this season with a ghastly -26 rating. That +/- is the worst of his playing career at any professional level and is tied for the third-worst in the AHL this season.
