TSN is reaching into its deep roster of on-air talent to fill the role of analyst on Winnipeg Jets broadcasts, left vacant by the recent departure of Shane Hnidy.
Veteran broadcasters Ray Ferraro, Dave Poulin and Jamie McLellan, all former NHLers, will each work between five and 10 of TSN3's 60 regular-season Jets games in 2017-18. CBC and Sportsnet will carry the remaining 22 games. Last month, Hnidy was hired as a television analyst for broadcasts of Vegas Golden Knights, the NHL's newest team.
"It's been an interesting challenge trying to replace Shane," said TSN's vice-president and executive producer of live events Paul Graham Friday morning.
