Vesalainen was dropped down to the tax squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vesalainen has played in just one game for the Jets this season in which he garnered one block while logging 9:22 of ice time. Even if the winger is added to the 23-man roster prior to Saturday's matchup with Vancouver, he will likely continue to serve as a healthy scratch unless he can unseat Jansen Harkins or Trevor Lewis for a spot in the lineup.

Vesalainen will be in the lineup against the Senators on Saturday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports, which means he will be promoted from the taxi squad prior to puck drop.

EDGE Analysis

Vesalainen will get his first appearance of the season thanks to injuries to Patrik Laine (upper body) and Nate Thompson (lower body). The 21-year-old Vesalainen should be expected to fill a fourth-line role in Saturday's clash but could make a push for more responsibilities throughout the season.

Vesalainen was called up to the Jets' active roster from the taxi squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Vesalainen will likely be continuously moved between levels throughout the year in order to save the Jets some cap space. The 21-year-old winger likely will be a healthy scratch against Ottawa on Thursday even factoring in the absence of Patrik Laine (upper body).

Vesalainen was assigned to Winnipeg's taxi squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vesalainen doesn't need to clear waivers, so he'll likely continue to bounce up and down between the main roster and taxi squad unless injuries pave the way for him to take a consistent spot in the lineup. He played five NHL games in 2018-19, but Vesalainen hasn't made an appearance at the top level since.

Vesalainen was called up from the taxi squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Vesalainen wasn't active for Thursday's game against Calgary, and he could serve as an extra body again Monday against the Maple Leafs. The 21-year-old winger had 30 points in 60 AHL games last season but didn't appear in an NHL contest.

Vesalainen was demoted to the taxi squad on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Jets off until Monday, there is little reason to carry any extra players on the 23-man roster, so fantasy players should probably expect Vesalainen to be moved on and off the taxi squad all season long. The 21-year-old winger will likely be coach Paul Maurice's first choice whenever an injury pops up and could even be an option if somebody in the bottom-six hits the skids.

Vesalainen returned to the Jets from loan with Finnish club HPK, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vesalainen enjoyed a successful stint with HPK, posting four goals and four assists over 10 games. The 2017 first-round pick is aiming to make the big club out of training camp, but he'll likely start the year with AHL Manitoba. Over 60 minor-league games last year, Vesalainen posted 12 goals and 18 assists.

Vesalainen will begin the 2020-21 campaign on loan with Finnish club HPK.

EDGE Analysis

Vesalainen saw action in five games with the Jets this year in which he registered one assist, one shot and one hit while averaging 6:50 of ice time. The winger should be capable of competing for a spot in the 23-man during training camp but could still spend some time in the minors.

The Jets sent Vesalainen to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Winnipeg wants Vesalainen to continue playing during the NHL's All-Star break, so he'll head to Manitoba for now, but the 20-year-old winger will likely be back with the Jets ahead of their Jan. 31 matchup with the Bruins.

The Jets recalled Vesalainen from AHL Manitoba on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Vesalainen has been solid in the minor-league ranks, accruing 22 points through 44 games, and his services are needed at the top level with Adam Lowry (upper body) facing a long-term absence. The Jets have 12 healthy forwards without Vesalainen, so we'll have to wait until morning skate before knowing if he plays in Tuesday's matchup versus the Hurricanes.
