4th year defenseman, 2006 Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets‘ 7th round draft pick (#200 overall) Arturs Kulda(44) recently got into his first NHL action of the 2011/2012 season. He’d been called up for short stints in the past couple of years in the Thrashers‘ system (7 games, 0 goals, 2 assists).
He was re-signed by the Jets in the offseason after his entry level contract expired to a one-year, two-way deal.
He’s been excelling in the AHL with St. John’s IceCaps putting up 6 points (2 goals, 4 assists) in 13 games; but he’s a more important +9 player.
