Two new faces will be hitting the ice in Winnipeg Jets threads for the first time on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks.
Forward Isak Rosén and defenceman Jacob Bryson were just acquired from the Buffalo Sabres in the trade that sent defencemen Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn to Buffalo.
Based on Saturday’s morning skate, Rosén will play on the third line with Jonathan Toews and Gustav Nyquist, while Bryson will slot in on the third pairing with Haydn Fleury.
Rosén, 22, has 25 goals and 18 assists for 43 points in 37 games with the Rochester Americans of the AHL, while Bryson, 28, recorded two goals and three assists for five points in 35 games with the Sabres before being dealt to Winnipeg.
Rosén will wear No. 27, formerly worn by forward Nikolaj Ehlers, and Bryson will wear No. 78, the first player in franchise history to do so.
The Jets will also be getting a staple on the blue line back in Josh Morrissey, as he is set to return from the injury he suffered at the Olympics on Saturday.
Morrissey had been skating in a yellow non-contact jersey throughout the week, but recently switched back to a regular jersey and now appears ready to go for his first game on the Jets’ blue line since before the Olympics.
Morrissey, 30, has 10 goals and 32 assists for a total of 42 points in 56 contests this season.
