The Winnipeg Jets have recalled Julian Melchiori from the Manitoba Moose to help bulk up their blueline.

The move comes as fellow defenceman Toby Enstrom continues to attend to a family situation in Sweden.

This marks Melchiori’s second stint with the Jets this season. He was held pointless in four games earlier this month after being brought up on Nov. 1.

The 24-year-old has a goal and four assists in 14 games with the Moose this season.

The Jets will look to snap a five-game losing streak on Sunday when they host the Nashville Predators.
