Adam Brooks' second stint in Toronto was a short one.

The Winnipeg Jets claimed the forward off waivers from the Maple Leafs on Friday.

It's the fourth time this season Brooks has been picked up off waivers. The Leafs had just claimed him Wednesday from the Vegas Golden Knights, who claimed him in November from the Montreal Canadiens, who claimed him in October from the Leafs.

Brooks, 25, has registered six goals and five assists in 29 career NHL games.

The Winnipeg native will provide the Jets with depth up front as they deal with injuries. Interim coach Dave Lowry said both Andrew Copp and Cole Perfetti are at least day-to-day with upper-body ailments, while Nikolaj Ehlers isn't close to returning from an MCL sprain, per team reporter Mitchell Clinton.
