Winnipeg Jets defenseman Elias Salomonsson will be away from the team indefinitely for personal reasons, head coach Scott Arniel announced. Arniel provided no return timeline and requested privacy for the 22-year-old blueliner. In response, Winnipeg recalled defenseman Henry Thrun from the AHL's Manitoba Moose under emergency conditions after Haydn Fleury suffered an injury on Thursday.
Meanwhile, top defenseman Josh Morrissey is nearing a return from a wrist injury after resuming full-contact practice on Saturday. Additionally, 18-year-old Swedish prospect Alexander Command, acquired from the New Jersey Devils in the Connor Hellebuyck trade, earned praise following an impressive offensive start in Swedish junior hockey.
