According to @BrownScottTN, Kyle Welwood has joined the team in Pittsburgh. Expect him to play tomorrow & replace Eric Fehr in the lineup.
Sounds like Wellwood has fully recovered from his illness. In 54 games with the Jets, he scored 10 goals and 31 points. Expect him to draw in on the second line.
With a goal last night, Kyle Wellwood set a new career-high point streak with 7 pts (1g, 6a) in his last five games.
Wellwood has been quite the valuable addition to the Jets, who signed him to a very cheap deal. The winger/forward now has nine goals and 30 points through 49 games.
Wellwood moves back onto the Antropov line after toiling on the third/fourth line recently. He's scored eight goals and 23 points through 43 games but has no points in the calendar year.
Wellwood moves back up to a scoring line as coach Claude Noel continues to juggle lines. The Windsor, Ontario native scored five goals and 10 points through his first 17 games as a Jet.
Third line appears to be Slater-Stapleton-Wellwood.
Wellwood moves down to the third line after playing mostly on the top two lines. He scored five goals and nine points over his first 14 tilts with the Jets.
On Thursday night, multiple sources confirmed the Jets have agreed to terms with centre Kyle Wellwood on a one-year, one-way deal worth $700,000.
Wellwood posted five goals and 13 points through 35 games with the San Jose Sharks, helping them to solidify their third line. He will battle Tim Stapleton and Jim Slater for a checking line role down the middle.
