The Winnipeg Jets called up Patrice Cormier from the American Hockey League’s St. John’s IceCaps on Sunday.

The 24-year-old forward has been called up twice already this season but has yet to see any game action.

In 21 games this year with the IceCaps, Cormier has five goals and five assists.

Last year with Winnipeg he played in nine games, collecting three assists.

A second round draft pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2008 NHL Draft, Cormier has five points and 18 penalty minutes in 49 games with both the Jets and Atlanta Thrashers.
