Fresh off a three-goal performance in the St. John's IceCaps' 8-4 win over the Connecticut Whale Saturday night at Mile One Centre, IceCaps' captain Jason Jaffray has been recalled to the parent Winnipeg Jets.
As well, defenceman Arturs Kulda has been recalled to Winnipeg, while rearguard Paul Posfma is being returned to St. John's.
Jaffray has seven goals, five assists, nine penalty minutes and a plus-five rating in 15 games with AHL-leading St. John's. Kulda has two goals, four assists, 12 penalty minutes and a plus-nine rating in 13 games.
