The Manitoba Moose made four roster moves as they embarked on a six-game road trip.
The Moose called up goalie Mikhail Berdin, defenceman Jacob Cederholm and fellow blueliner Justin Woods from their ECHL affiliate, the Jacksonville Icemen. The Moose also announced goaltender Ken Appleby has been reassigned to Jacksonville.
The Moose were getting short staffed on the blueline with Tucker Poolman out with an injury. He’s not expected to play on the road trip. Sami Niku remains up with the Jets and forward Mason Appleton was recalled on Monday.
