Jets' Ondrej Pavelec: Pulled back to parent club

Pavelec was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Tuesday, Sara Orlesky of TSN reports.

Analysis:

Goaltending has been the Achilles' heel for the Jets, who have lost four straight games and rank sixth in the Central Division. Connor Hellebuyck ranks 33rd in the league with a 2.82 GAA and Michael Hutchinson is second-to-last among qualified netminders at 3.23. Thus, despite his placement on waivers ahead of the season, it's looking like Pavelec will have a chance for redemption. The 29-year-old has gone 8-7-2 with a 2.78 GAA and .917 save mark in 18 AHL games, marking his first taste of minor-league action since he was with the Chicago Wolves for one game in 2010-11.
