Rookies Nikolaj Ehlers, Andrew Copp and Nic Petan have all made the season-opening roster for the Winnipeg Jets.
The team made several roster decisions today, including sending winger J.C. Lipon to the AHL’s Manitoba Moose and waiving defenceman Jay Harrison, who was not in practice this morning at the MTS Centre.
The Jets open their regular season on Thursday in Boston but must declare a starting, cap-compliant roster of a maximum of 23 players by tomorrow afternoon.
Today’s apparent decisions leave 24 players still on the ice with the team this morning. Winger Thomas Raffl remains with the club and is practising today, though he has no NHL contract yet.
