The injury bug appears to have struck the Winnipeg Jets yet again.

The Jets announced Friday the team has recalled goalie Eric Comrie from their AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose on an emergency basis.

Jets net-minder Laurent Brossoit left Thursday’s 5-0 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights with a suspected lower-body injury.
