Winnipeg Jets acquire Jiri Tlusty
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) - The Winnipeg Jets acquired winger Jiri Tlusty from the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday in exchange for two draft picks.
The Jets gave up a third-round pick in 2016 and a conditional sixth-rounder in 2015 in the deal.
Tlusty, who has 13 goals and 10 assists this season, gives the Jets some depth they were lacking due to a number of injuries.
The Jets also announced they've put forward Blake Wheeler on injured reserve.
