WINNIPEG — The Manitoba Moose are looking to one of Winnipeg’s most famous hockey family for help on offense. The Moose have signed forward Kelly Zajac, the third of the four Zajac brothers.
Zajac, 27, joins the Moose after starting the season in Finland playing with Rauma Lukko of the Liiga. He scored two goals and two assists in 11 games. Last season Zajac appeared in 24 games with the Albany Devils of the AHL where he scored three goals and 10 assists. The Winnipeg native has played 108 career AHL games over the past four seasons.

Kelly’s oldest brother is New Jersey Devils forward Travis Zajac. Darcy Zajac has yet to appear in a game this season after playing in Albany the last five seasons. And the youngest brother Nolan is a defenseman with the University of Colorado.
The Moose are in the midst of a four game homestand with their next contest on Friday against the Bakersfield Condors.
