Rookie right-winger Kristian Vesalainen seemed happy to be back on practice ice with the Winnipeg Jets Sunday morning, but he wasn’t keen to talk about a report he was originally planning to head home to his native Finland.

On Thursday, a Finnish media report said the 19-year-old would be triggering a clause in his contract to be able to suit up for Jokerit of the KHL if he was not playing in the NHL.
