The Winnipeg Jets are strengthening their team as they head out for their road trip.

On Monday, the team announced the recall of forward Jaret Anderson-Dolan and goalie Chris Driedger from the Manitoba Moose, their American Hockey League affiliate.

This season, Anderson-Dolan has accumulated 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) over 51 games with the Moose. He joined the Jets as a free agent last summer but hasn`t yet played for the NHL team in a regular season game.

The 25-year-old Calgary native has played 127 NHL games over six seasons with the Los Angeles Kings and Nashville Predators, scoring 28 points (15 goals, 13 assists).

Driedger has a 1-3-0 record with a 3.30 goals-against average and a .872 save percentage in five appearances for the Moose.

He was acquired by the Jets from the Florida Panthers on March 7, just before the trade deadline, in exchange for goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen.

Hailing from Winnipeg, the 30-year-old Driedger has a career NHL record of 31-24-5, a 2.45 GAA, and a .917 save percentage in 67 games across seven seasons with the Ottawa Senators, Panthers, and Seattle Kraken.

The Jets, currently leading the league with a 51-19-4 record, are on a three-game winning streak and will begin a three-game road trip against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
