No one is sure yet how this is going to turn out, but Brenden Kichton isn’t going to let any of the uncertainty spoil the moment.
The 23-year-old defenceman could be making his National Hockey League debut Saturday afternoon in Buffalo for the Winnipeg Jets. Or, it might be a case where he gets an all-expenses-paid trip to upstate New York to watch the game from the press box.
Kichton has been recalled from the Manitoba Moose on an emergency basis after Jacob Trouba blocked a shot in Thursday’s win over Los Angeles and did not practise at MTS Iceplex on Friday.
