Jets activate G Mason off IR

Dec 11, 2017 - 8:06 PM The Winnipeg Jets activated Steve Mason from injured reserve and assigned fellow goaltender Eric Comrie to Manitoba of the American Hockey League, the team announced Monday.

Mason has been sidelined with a concussion, which was sustained in a 4-0 loss against the San Jose Sharks on Nov. 25. The 29-year-old was hit in the mask by a shot from Tim Heed 11:30 into the game and was pulled by Jets coach Paul Maurice after the conclusion of the first period.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Mason has struggled in his first season with Winnipeg, posting a 2-4-1 mark with a 3.45 goals-against average and .904 save percentage in eight appearances.

Comrie played in one game this season with the Jets, making 30 saves in a 6-4 loss to the Florida Panthers on Thursday. The 22-year-old owns an 8-4-1 mark with a shutout, a 2.30 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in 13 contests with the AHL's Moose this season.
