Ondrej Pavelec speculated that he could be hearing his name in the news for a positive reason again. On Sunday, Pavelec said he knew the decision to call him up wasn’t his, but he felt there was an opportunity for it to happen. The Winnipeg Jets have finally called up journeyman goaltender Ondrej Pavelec from the Manitoba Moose, and he has the best opportunity of his career to succeed, and possibly the last.
The Jets have pretty much run out of options in net, and with Ben Chiarot injured and eligible for the Injured Reserve, it couldn’t work out better for the Jets.
