Eric Comrie's time with the Winnipeg Jets isn't now.
As expected, the Jets assigned the young goaltender to the AHL's Manitoba Moose this afternoon.
Left to defend Winnipeg's crease are veteran Steve Mason, signed as a free agent July 1 to take over the top job with the Jets, and Connor Hellebuyck, who had an up-and-down 2016-17 season in his first go as a starter.
Comrie, 22, appeared in 51 games (19-26-2) for Manitoba last season and will likely get a ton of work this year. Michael Hutchinson, Jamie Phillips and Colton Phinney are also vying for work in the Moose net.
