WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Desperate times call for desperate measures but the Winnipeg Jets are way past that -- they've called for Ondrej Pavelec.
After neither Connor Hellebuyck nor Michael Hutchinson were able to provide the kind of goaltending needed for a serious playoff run, the Winnipeg Jets have recalled their former long-time starter from the minors.
The move unlikely will be long-term as Pavelec's contract, which pays him $4.75 million per year, expires at the end of this season. There's no question, however, his return will light a fire under the pads of the other two for the next little while.
