Jets Acquire Maxime Macenauer from Ducks for Riley Holzapfel

The Winnipeg Jets announced on Monday that they have acquired center Maxime Macenauer from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for center Riley Holzapfel. In 29 games with the Ducks, Macenauer had one goal and three assists for four points. He also appeared in 13 games with Syracuse of the AHL, scoring four goals and two assists for six points. In 29 games this season with St. John's of the AHL, Holzapfel has eight goals and seven assists for 15 points. He has yet to appear in an NHL game. This is really just a depth move for both teams, as both players will likely spend most of the rest of the season in the minors. However, Macenauer could potentially see some time with the Jets on their fourth line late in the season if injuries mount. He possesses plenty of speed and some offensive ability, so he's not a bad acquisition for the team. As for the Ducks, Holzapfel will bring some two-way ability to their system and should be a solid addition to their AHL affiliate in Syracuse.
