This kid is pretty damn good. Hopefully get to see him in a limited stint down the stretch.

yessssss

Well there you have it! What we were all kinda hoping for?

Looks like they plan on resting some players. Good for him he has earned a look.

Adding on, the Moose don't play another game until April 6th (which is at home). Niku gets to travel to (possibly) play at Ottawa then at Montreal, then the Jets come home too anyway. Makes sense if you want to see what he can do in the next two games at the NHL-level.

Hmm, he must be getting close to some AHL scoring bonus that the team doesn't want to pay.

 

[DashingDane]

That’s exciting!! Can wait to see him play.

I'd sure like to see some F get a break. Perrault, Little, Stastny in particular

Niku is going to be fun to watch....

Jets recall Sami Niku

He didn't impress me much last Monday when I saw him but the whole team was lousy. It wasn't too hard to see where his skill is though, looks the type where it happens at the next level as well.

Happy for him, look forward to seeing him in a Jets jersey.

I thought the Jets were out of recalls? Nice to see the Jets going to rest some players.

Niku, Poolman, Mathias, Dano, Roslovic and Mason likely going to see some action and most importantly rest up some key players.

Good for Niku well deserved.

 

[bustamente]

Get him right in the line up against the Senators or Canadiens

 

[surixon]

I imagine Buff, Myers, Morrissey and Trouba will each only get one of the back to back.

Buff and Myers come out tomorrow and JoMo and Trouba against Montreal would be my guess.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Play him tomorrow!

He’s even played quite a bit of RD this year

Think they've got a couple more plus emergency recalls?

I think they have used all four now

Yup but I imagine Moe wont want to mess with his top pairings too much. He will likely insert Poolman and Niku as a pairing and run them as the third pair for the next few.

I see it happening like this over the next two games:

JoMo - Trouba
Morrow - Chariot
Niku - Poolman

Morrow - Buff
Chariot - Myers
Niku - Poolman

I agree they will try to put him in a position to succeed

Nice! Have not seen him play so I'm excited to check him out.
