Derek Meech finally got to make his home debut with the Jets on Tuesday night. The Winnipeg native logged 14:05 of ice time against Toronto, while picking up a plus-2 rating and two penalty minutes. Injuries got in the way last season and the fact that he's a ways down the depth chart also hurt. Meech skated in two games with the Jets last year and he's suited up in two contests this campaign.

Derek Meech has been summoned from the minors by Winnipeg. He was brought up as Julian Melchiori was sent down. The Jets don't have Tobias Enstrom and Zach Redmond because of injury, so Meech could see some action. He played in just two games with Winnipeg last season.

Derek Meech is dealing with a groin injury, but he's projected to attend training camp for the Jets. Of course for that to happen he will have to receive medical clearance first. Meech will have a shot to grab a roster spot in Winnipeg going into the year due to Zach Bogosian's wrist injury. He will compete with fellow St. John's farmhands Paul Postma and Zach Redmond.

Derek Meech led the way for St. John's in its 6-1 win over Providence, notching three points. Meech had a goal and two assists. The 28-year-old spent much of last year dealing with a double-knee injury. He has a reasonable chance of clinching a spot on a bottom-two pairing with the Jets and his 12 points in 17 games should only help that cause.

Derek Meech had an assist and he scored the game-winning goal for St. John's in a 2-1 victory over Hershey on Saturday. His first marker of the year came on the power play during the third period. Meech will try to squeeze his way onto Winnipeg's defense corps when NHL play resumes, but he's unlikely to have much fantasy value.
