Harkins was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins will likely serve as an emergency option against the Canadiens on Thursday in the event Mason Appleton (illness) is unable to suit up. The 25-year-old Harkins was a fixture in the Jets' lineup last season, making 77 appearances for the club in which he recorded 13 points but figures to spend this season primarily in the minors.
