The Winnipeg Jets announced today that Tobias Enstrom would be out for the remainder of the regular season. In addition, Dmitry Kulikov, another left-hand defenceman, is out with an injury. This leaves Joshua Morrisy and Ben Chairot as the only healthy left-handed defence on the team. This makes it the perfect time to bring up Sami Niku.
Now, I must admit that I have been excited about Sami Niku ever since he was drafted in the 7th round in 2015. Here is why Sami Niku should be called up to the Winnipeg Jets to play a few games this season.
