NORFOLK, VA - The Winnipeg Jets announced today they have reassigned goaltender Oskari Salminen from the Manitoba Moose to the Norfolk Admirals.
Salminen, 24, was recalled by the Moose after he played in Game 1 of the North Division Semifinals against the Trois-Rivieres Lions. The Finland native made 33 saves in a 4-2 victory. Two days later, he was starting in goal for Manitoba against the Texas Stars.
