Jets recall DiVincentiis, Heinola, Salomonsson, Duehr from Manitoba Moose

The Winnipeg Jets recalled goaltender Domenic DiVincentiis, defensemen Ville Heinola and Elias Salomonsson, and forward Walker Duehr from their AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, in a flurry of roster movement announced Feb. 17, 2026. All four players were elevated from Manitoba to Winnipeg, shifting personnel between the NHL and AHL levels on the same day.

DiVincentiis, the netminder sent up from the Moose, joins the Jets’ crease group after time with Manitoba’s AHL club. At the same time the Moose reassigned goaltender Isaac Poulter from the ECHL’s Norfolk Admirals to their roster, creating a direct chain of movement from Norfolk to Manitoba to Winnipeg in a single day. That sequence underscores how the organization is juggling goaltending resources across three levels of professional hockey.

On the blue line, the Jets brought up Ville Heinola and Elias Salomonsson from Manitoba. Heinola and Salomonsson provide Winnipeg with additional options among its defensemen after development minutes with the Moose. Manitoba answered the move on its end by recalling defenseman Ben Zloty, adjusting its own defensive depth in response to the Jets’ promotions.

Walker Duehr’s recall gives the Jets an additional forward who had been playing with the Moose earlier in the season. Duehr’s elevation, alongside two defensive recalls and a goaltender call-up, represents a multi-position reinforcement for Winnipeg’s roster as the club navigates its schedule and lineup needs. All four recalls were processed Feb. 17, 2026, moving players from Manitoba’s AHL roster onto Winnipeg’s NHL roster for immediate availability.

From an organizational and business perspective, the series of transactions highlights how the Winnipeg organization leverages its AHL affiliate and its relationship with the ECHL’s Norfolk Admirals to maintain roster flexibility. Reassigning Isaac Poulter from Norfolk to Manitoba while promoting DiVincentiis, Heinola, Salomonsson, and Duehr illustrates coordinated asset management across affiliates to cover short-term needs and long-term development pathways.

For Manitoba, the promotions mean short-term roster churn: the Moose both received Poulter from Norfolk and recalled Ben Zloty while losing four players to Winnipeg. Those moves will alter ice-time allocations and lineup decisions for Manitoba as it replenishes positions vacated by DiVincentiis, Heinola, Salomonsson, and Duehr. The Feb. 17 recalls provide a clear snapshot of the developmental pipeline at work between Norfolk, Manitoba, and Winnipeg.
