Jets lose Comrie on waivers, claim Dahlstrom
The Winnipeg Jets lost a goaltender on the waiver wire Tuesday, but they snagged a blue-liner.
The Arizona Coyotes have claimed netminder Eric Comrie from the Jets, and Winnipeg has claimed defenseman Carl Dahlstrom from the Chicago Blackhawks.
Comrie allowed five goals on 28 shots in his lone NHL appearance in 2018-19. He spent most of the season with the AHL's Manitoba Moose, compiling a .917 save percentage across 47 games. The Jets selected the 24-year-old 59th overall in 2013.
Dahlstrom split last season between the Blackhawks and their AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, collecting six points over 38 NHL appearances. Chicago drafted him eight picks before Winnipeg chose Comrie in 2013.
The Jets need defensive depth with Dustin Byfuglien's future uncertain, and after the offseason departures of Jacob Trouba, Tyler Myers, and Ben Chiarot.
Winnipeg is set in goal with starter Connor Hellebuyck and backup Laurent Brossoit.
