    Default Sami Niku called Up

    He's been putting up great numbers in the A, I've been anxious to see him play. Really hope he gets a game or 3 in. Haven't heard much about him, which is a little surprising if you look at his numbers (52 pts in 71 GP).

    Pretty awesome. Sounds like he's likely to play tomorrow.

    Very strategic move to give him some regular season action and see how he holds up.

    If the Jets plan on going deep in playoffs there will likely be an injury or two where they needs some depth... making sure this guy is ready is very smart move.

    I've been expecting this news to come out for a week or so now.. For a 7th round draft pick, this kid has been a revelation!! 52 points in 71 AHL games, and in his first season in North America!!

    I'd really like to see Mason Appleton get a game or two in as well.

    That and resting some players. Win-win.
