With the Winnipeg Jets starting to get healthy, the Manitoba Moose roster is getting an injection of talent.
The Jets activated both Morgan Barron and Cole Koepke from injured reserve on Monday, while sending forwards Nikita Chibrikov, Parker Ford, and Brad Lambert to their AHL affiliate. All three had been healthy scratches the last two contests.
The trio started the season with the Jets after playing the majority of last season with the Moose. Barron missed their last six games with an injury, while Koepke sat out the final four games of their six-game road trip.
