Winnipeg Jets Add Goaltending Depth

The NHL's waiver wire has seen more action this season than any other. With taxi-squads throwing a whole new wrinkle into the mix, team's are placing players on waivers left, right and centre. We've seen some being claimed numerous times, and it's happened once again as the Winnipeg Jets have claimed ex-Winnipeg Jet Eric Comrie off waivers from the New Jersey Devils.

Jets claim Eric Comrie, welcome back

Eric Comrie has gone from Winnipeg to Arizona to Detroit to Winnipeg to New Jersey to Winnipeg courtesy four waiver claims and one trade over the last 16 months.

Tough way to make a living.

Poor Comrie is going to have to go through all the COVID-19 protocols again when it comes to quarantining but he'll be happy to be back with the team that drafted him. The 25-year-old was 2nd-round pick back in 2013, but has yet to be given a legit chance at significant minutes in the NHL.

Comrie appeared in one game with the Devils, allowing three goals in a victory and stopping 91% of the shots he faced. Up to this point, he's only appeared in nine career games over five seasons.
