Petan played in six games for Winnipeg at the start of the season before being sent down to the AHL. He currently sits second in scoring among the Moose with 41 points in 39 games.

To make room on their roster, the Jets placed Adam Lowry on injured reserve. The forward has missed one game since getting hurt in last Thursday’s overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Six other players are also sidelined with various injuries.
