Michael Hutchinson said the waiting was the hardest part.

The Winnipeg Jets goaltender was cleared to rejoin the Jets — and officially removed from the NHL team’s injured-reserve (IR) list — on Thursday, after he was sidelined for six games over two weeks with a concussion.

Friendly fire caused the injury Feb. 6 in Phoenix during the morning skate prior to a clash with the Coyotes.

Hutchinson said he definitely felt “off for a few days” after catching a high deflection square on the chin, but was anxious to return just a few days later.
